@bkmgit many many thanks! I'm very happy to see what you do!

Some points:

  • I think you are pushing content from your first PR (like I see the banners again in the commit). Is that intended?
  • Was there are reason that you made the old announcement as a logo? In general, I would just like to use your new design
  • Though, I mis-communicated. I only need the banners, no logos, but I'm fine to keep what you made.
  • For XSF I think the font is not the best choice. You don't need to mimic it, but the one you chose is a bit odd.
  • So, maybe the XMPP Market I was also looking for a banner. It can be also in the design you mimic-ed so far (like the newsletter. Some design suggestions below
    • Screenshot_20250430_225649
    • Move the XMPP Logo into the stall header / top
    • Have the icons below and the person alone
    • Have less icons, maybe join the two left.

Awesome work again! <3

@Echolon XMPP Market banner is similar to the other banners now. Further suggestions welcome.

@Echolon @badrihippo @cal0pteryx XSF logo probably needs some discussion. For example the font choice for XSF. Do we also want to use a single icon for Announcements?

Yes, announcements should use the same icons imho. Best would be to unify it with the icon used in xmpp_announcement_sticker.svg

@bkmgit

Sorry, I though I did respond.

The only comment left would be for the Community proposal:

  • Could you reduce the size of the persona icons in the circle
  • Could you align the connector to the top circle that is asymmetric?

@bkmgit with the recent discussion. Can you finalize the changes?

@Echolon There was not a clear decision on the font.

  • Do we want to remove the XSF Announcment?
  • Do we want to keep XSF Announcment and use Librestile?
  • Do we want to keep XSF Announcment and use the font used in the text XMPP which is Eurostile Extended Bold and requires someone with a desktop license to provide the text if we also want to use it for the text XSF.

@Echolon There was not a clear decision on the font.

* Do we want to remove the XSF Announcment?

* Do we want to keep XSF Announcment and use [Librestile](https://github.com/ocelothe/Librestile)?

* Do we want to keep XSF Announcment and use the font used in the text XMPP which is [Eurostile Extended Bold](https://www.myfonts.com/products/bold-extended-2-63893-eurostile-lt-356389/licenses) and requires someone with a desktop license to provide the text if we also want to use it for the text `XSF`.

Hey,

so I think all is clarified:

  • We dont need to remove the font. We can use it again.
  • So, no need for another style, right?
  • No license required. Just use what's in the XSF Logo

We do not have XSF using Eurostile Extended Bold the current text in XSF uses Librestile

The main use is in https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/1518/files#diff-a7b5f1f88a231848548d3b4af01660d34a6545ef7d3cb2edf35196bd87e3d985

* No license required. Just use what's in the XSF Logo

Suggested:

https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/1518/files#diff-c1877a622f14a0370593a094d80606c92b683a48c4bde44509a4d51dbb46554e

though can leave out for now as it seems it will not have much use elsewhere, and
someone may come up with something better or at least go through a community
vetting process.
