Hi all,

How about have an avatar for each channel?

WEB

remove edit channel header, remove edit channel purpose, remove rename channel

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mattermost/original/2X/6/660a5808a4bb2291a13e07ea6c039294bac3cff8.jpeg)

and create a new dialog screen called Channel Settings with  
channel name (channel avatar)  
Url  
channel header  
channel purpose

now if its a question of size or permissions I suggest to create a change channel avatar option and a simple dialog with channel name and the avatar where the user can click a change the image.

IOS

in the Edit Channel screen, set avatar icon on the right next to the channel name.
