How to add a subreddit icon & edit the display of your sub name in redesign

How to add an icon to a subreddit is a common question, here is how to do it.

You need to be on desktop to be able to upload an icon to your subreddit (at time of writing) - what you can do on mobile in app is very limited. You could try desktop mode in your mobile browser, but desktop is better.

• How to add an icon/avatar
• How to add an icon via mod tools (this is where you can remove an icon too)

You can change the large text community name/display name in your community settings -

Mod tools (top of sidebar on the right), community settings (sidebar on the left)

Use the the 'community name' box at the top of the community page.

Further styling options that were available, like hiding the icon, don't seem to be functional at the moment/since the change to redesign.
