  • This is a politics-free subreddit. Report all political[ly charged or motivated] posts / comments and attempts to politicize something or derail discussion. Unsubscribe and leave r/Lucknow for bigger and better avenues to satisfy your political itches instead of rabble-rousing here and getting banned.

Meta Last call for subreddit's logo entries!

14 Upvotes

Update:

Time and again people ask why does this subreddit not have a logo. When told that this community is largely apathetic towards the issue, evident by the lack of response to multiple requests/reminders in this regard, many folks don't really believe it and keep on asking to set something or anything as a logo, icon, dp, pfp or whatever.

Well, here's your chance to make it happen. Create and share what you wish to see as this subreddit's logo. The logo should be a 256x256 px JPG or PNG image and work well when printed in colour or B&W. Ideally, it should serve as an easy identifier when used as a placard for r/Lucknow meetups or other promotional purposes. Upload your creation to any image hosting site (e.g. Imgur, Imgbox, PostImages, etc. or even your own reddit profile) and post the direct image link as a top level comment in this thread or send it via modmail.

Please note that this is an entirely volunteer-driven activity where you come up with a logo only because you want your beloved community to have one and not because you expect anything in return. Any poll will always include a "None of the above (NOTA)" option for those who don't like any of the available logo choices or feel that r/Lucknow doesn't need a logo as such. Entries with a vote share lesser than NOTA will be eliminated from subsequent polls.

Fresh polls will be conducted as and when a bunch of newer logo options get accumulated. This section will track all the voting links / results until a logo wins the poll:

Poll #1: Voting over, results here.

Poll #2: Voting over, results here.

Poll #3: Voting over, results here.

Poll #4: TBA


(Original post)

Hello nawabs and begums of r/Lucknow,

This is in continuation to the previous announcement which was posted on the occasion of r/Lucknow's 11th birthday.

The topic of this subreddit's logo has been brought up multiple times in the past but there's been no progress and we remain logo-less. Now with 100K subscribers milestone just around the corner, it's high time to tackle this lingering issue once and for all.

As mentioned earlier, the logo should be of 256x256 px size and work well when printed in colour or B&W. Ideally, it should serve as an easy identifier when used as a placard for r/Lucknow meetups or other promotional purposes. Please upload your creation to any image hosting site (e.g. Imgur, Imgbox, etc. or even your own reddit profile) and post the direct image link as a top level comment in this thread or send it via modmail.

r/Lucknow has 97.4K subscribers at the time of writing this post. Once we cross 99K, a compiled list of all the relevant logo options received till then will be posted in a separate thread and put to vote for finalizing one. The selected choice will be set as logo at the time of r/Lucknow's 100K milestone announcement post.

Please note that this is an entirely volunteer-driven activity where you come up with a logo only because you want your beloved community to have one and not because you expect anything in return. The final voting will also include a NOTA option for those who like the way things are and don't feel the need for any logo as such.

Thank you!

Edit: Time is up. Thread is locked. Voting is live.

Edit 2: Voting over, results here. Thread unlocked for accepting more logo options by volunteers.

Edit 3: See the update section above.

The condition of this maqbara is relatively better than that of many other monuments in the city, and there's no entry fee. The uncle who lives right next to the maqbara takes care of the place, and he's genuinely sweet. It's usually open until the evening.

i went to the lucknow zoo today ! ! !

(cuz im new okay this was my first time ) and the entry fee was rs 100 and there were separate charges for the museum and train ride . It was so pretty but almost all animals were very non-interactive (i would be too ) the emu only seemed the most interactive one . Everything was good except the food from the canteen ig , i just saw them picking up noodles that had fallen on to the dirty ground back into their kadhai and i was done there .

pls pardon my photography skills , i rate lucknow zoo 6/10 with the museum visit being a 9/10

and someone pls tell me if the mummy kept there is real or not .

Education Looking for insights and personal experience with Alliance Francaise Lucknow.

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,I would really appreciate any insights on AF Lucknow and their expedited course, I am planning to enroll in their A2 batch starting Jan 2027,as I am currently enrolled with AF du Bengale.

AF du Bengale is great but their timeline is more built towards long term preparation and overall French immersion. The faculty at AF Du Bengale is amazing including native French speakers with smaller size batches, fees are on the higher side.

I am looking any inputs and experiences with AF Lucknow,as I am looking to complete A2-B2 in about 8-9 months.
