Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Improve "brand", and recognizability.

Describe the solution you'd like Nostr watch is one of the most useful relay research & management tools. Adding a logo can help improve the recognizability of the project, and also help endear the project to nostr users.

I like the combination of the options gear selected by @dskvr combined with the watchful eye of an ostrich. An example, imperfect logo mockup: nostrwatchlogo

Describe alternatives you've considered Do nothing.

Additional context I am not a designer. A logo would benefit from experimentation form a design eye and hand or two.

Hey, thanks for the issue @alltheseas and very good points. Definitely need some kind of logo at some point, but not in a rush atm.

"Good ideas, elsat. It would be fun as a robotic nostrich with eyes that look like relay status lights. A nostrich watching over relays." https://damus.io/note12l4s9ulcsh9vyxapjf5k0k4f4q46p0j3eymdyuqfd0rl6k6mxexsh9838p

via Marek "_What comes to mind for me is the 'watch' part and I associate it with 'eye'. So i'd be exploring a logo that would involve the ostrich's eye. Like zoomed in kinda version. But still seeing that it is an ostrich.

Logo's are tricky to do and should be recognisable even when scaled down. I might explore some options this weekend_" https://damus.io/note1f3uqx62ut8km6uf9ta2jccs29amhz5w43f3euusry496zhxenqnqtjc2m3
