Meta Last call for subreddit's logo entries!

18 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

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.

I was near Kiora one day and I came across this road and I was really fascinated with the facade of this place. Then I tried finding it on maps but couldn't get much information. Is it a personal property or a resort? I'm just really curious about it.

I'll go first. Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula shifted his capital from Faizabad to Lucknow because he wanted to get away from his overbearing and controlling mother.

Infrastructure Ganga Expressway is pretty good.

18 Upvotes

Travelled from Gurgaon to Lucknow and this time I took the Ganga Expressway instead of the Yamuna Expressway. The time to reach Lucknow was the same. The drive was very smooth, the roads are top quality and there are cameras and speed markers installed every few kms. The expressway also has a side skirting/line(I don't know what it's called) that I assume prevents riders from dozing off and letting their vehicle drift.
There are rest stops every 60-70 kms but with very limited food stalls(some are still under construction and not ready).

The only area for improvement is that Yamuna expressway has much better food courts and rest places. Also the stupid Google maps took me through 5-6 km of fields to get to the Ganga expressway entry point from Meerut.

Infrastructure WHEN PUBLIC TRANSPORT IS ABSENT, EVERY COMMUTER BECOMES ANOTHER VEHICLE.

Thumbnail

109 Upvotes

LUCKNOW DOESN’T HAVE A TRAFFIC PROBLEM.

LUCKNOW HAS A PUBLIC TRANSPORT PROBLEM.

2 hours of rain.

Prime Gomti Nagar.

Roads jammed.

Drains overflowing.

Cars barely moving.

And what's our alternative?

Take another car.

Take another bike.

Take another auto.

Because when reliable public transport isn't available, every commuter becomes another vehicle on the road.

We keep talking about new roads, new townships, new commercial hubs and rising real-estate values.

But where is the connectivity?

Where is the public transport that lets someone live in one part of Lucknow and work in another without needing their own vehicle?

And if expanding the Metro takes years, where are the properly planned, frequent and reliable city buses?

A city cannot keep adding vehicles to solve a transportation problem created by a lack of transportation.

You cannot build a modern city on private vehicles alone.

Maybe the next big infrastructure project shouldn't just be another road.

Maybe it should be a reason for people to leave their cars at home.

Lucknow deserves better.

So, i moved to Lucknow recently for my masters and i was hoping that I could earn some side income by giving home tuitions but unfortunately it has been over 2 months and as of today iam still unemployed. Meanwhile while browsing the web i got to know about several educational consulting firms such as: tutionteachers.com, thehometuitions.com, tutorwala, etc.
and today I received a call from someone claiming to be from career consultancy tutorial, hazratganj and offering home tuitions like they were just waiting for me and that also with some very attractive monetary benefit.
But all of these consultants are asking for a registration fees or a plan which is not cheap alongwith 50% of the earnings
Iam just wondering, is this really genuine or iam getting scammed?
I have already bought a plan of tuitionteacher.com but still waiting for a lead.
Is there any alternative to these considering ?
i really need to earn a side income it doesn’t have to be tuitions it can be anything.
Any suggestions?
Let’s shed some light on these consultants,
This will help other fellow teachers from getting scammed
