not a new meme suggestion but hammer and sickle would be nice as an ideology icon and being able to choose the commissar hat from "Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Hats and Rags" for the commissar role would be rather fitting
Since Aristocratic pawns like being in positions of power maybe they should get a mood buff from having royal titles?

Eldritch Cult and Esoteric structures look awesome but they feel kinda empty without Cult oriented meme that would give us a little grasp of otherworldly influence and primordial unnamed rituals to cast, maybe even malicious entity to call for in time of need.

Eldritch Cult comes with a custom Corruption need as well as a new, dark cultist ritual.

Esoteric I recommend with Psychic focus meme!

I feel the violence abhorent precept should be locked behind pacifism. It seems weird that you can chose pacifism without pacifism.

We like to give options in precepts for players who want to make weird ideos. We only locked those precepts that would 100% make no sense without their associated meme

Instead of a new meme, maybe an expanded Gender Supremacy with new precepts like gender-specific comfort, scarification, organ-use, anonymity (if combined with the meme), etc.

Got this idea from a few days ago:
What about a "Valued knowledge" (there is probably a better way to name it) meme:
Basically gaining knowledge and progress is key value in this meme
- Pawns feel sad if there's no dedicated laboratory or/and research in progress but are happy if research advances quickly (in terms of research points not research projects)
- A new ritual, which is a sort of teaching/brain storming ritual, where participants gather around someone who's skilled in a skill, at the end every participants get a some skill points based on the "teacher" 's social and intelect skill (or quality outcome of ritual) + small mood buff or debuff
- Obviously it unlocks a research specialist role
- Research precept can't be despised or lower
- Maybe a slightly malus to work speed (pawns are encouraged to understand and be curious abt what they're doing which impacts slightly their speed)

Feel free to implement this however you want (or not at all) but what's really interesting here is that it can be applied to all sorts of factions with different tech levels (here i'm thinking abt tribals, where the progressive, from this mod, and transhumanist memes wouldn't really make sense)

A Viking themed structure would be really cool! Could even use some of their iconography in their crafted weapons, armor and furniture

Living in Switzerland and looking at the US and being inspired by the Mandalorian's "Weapons are part of my religion" meme, a shooting-basied meme would be a natural fit. This is an idea for a more or less neutral setup that would fit a lot of combinations:

Mood debuff if not wielding a (post-neolithic) gun
Shooting Competition ritual, where participants gain a little shooting experience (and a new leader could be chosen)
Best Shot as leader
Ranged Specialist role unlocked
Conflicts with Brawler, Incapable of Violence
Agrees with Careful Shooter, Trigger Happy

"This is my rifle. There are many others like it, but this one is mine"

I have noticed a quirk that I think isvery odd:

Why is apostasy: accepted a required part of the Industrialist meme? It doesn't seem to fit the theme very well. If anything, something that decreased certainty loss might be more thematically appropriate for a society devoted to something simple like production.

If it doesn't already, does the Ocular Corruption Meme from the Alpha Biomes Mod contribute to the need for Corruption in Eldritch Pawns?

Full of batwing Diabolist-styles for my vampire-colony!

Could you introduce a mood bonus for the mechanist meme if you have friendly mechanoids from what the hack?

May I suggest a simple ideology with ritual to resurrect the dead?
With a permanent 1% debuff to consciousness every resurrection?
Could be a mystic or technological -themed ritual. (scientific?) necromancers and liches?
