Hi all, sorry for not replying with thread,, the message body is getting garbled. On 6:59 AM, Christoph Noack wrote: Cool, thanks for the proposal ... and moreover, thanks for jumping especially since your time is limited (as I know very well). Thanks Christoph, I've got a quick break in my research so I can pitch in a little more this week. I might go into details in a personal email, but the outcome was good! =) So I have 1 week of free time Besides, this is a somewhat urgent LibO matter right? (the fund-raising) So, I'd like to ask you for holding the breath (more or less), so that I can collect everything I'm aware about on a wiki page. I hope that this will make our life much easier ... it worked very well for the icons, so let's do that for the banner as well. Even if it costs another few hours. Agreed? Sure, thanks for doing that! In the mean time, people mentioned images for the donations pages would be helpful. I've created 2 cartoon images that might be useful (or maybe not =). It's a piggy-bank and a coin-stack, they aren't great or many, but it's all I could get done in a couple of hours =( Here is the preview PNG; http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Donation_preview.png and here is the SVG; http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/5/56/TDF_donationCartoons.svg Hope you find a use for them somewhere (on donation webpages/banners). If they are useful I'll make more. If you do use them, make sure they are small otherwise the subtle flaws will be more visible. Ah, and Nik, is there a chance to borrow some minutes of your precious time for some focused discussion or to get the source of your proposal? Pfft precious time, you're priceless Christoph =) I've uploaded the PSD here; http://tdf.nikashsingh.com/misc/FundraisingBanner_Cleaner.psd Consider it whatever license will allow you to do whatever you need with it, attribution-less, no-rights-reserved kinda deal. I'd be happy to join a focused discussion too. Actually I have a whole buncha stuff I've been saving up for a chat on the Design-list. I think Johannes is going to cover a lot of that, though =) By the way, this banner; http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibreOffice_FoundationChallenge_WebBanner_728x60.png Is looking BLOODY amazing. -Nik -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to website+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/website/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
Re: Re: Re: [libreoffice-website] Banner for website
Hi all, before replying to Nik, I'd like to announce some general things and ask for help as well :-) I've updated the Banner wiki page: * Added the proposals/discussions by Bernhard (his last mail) * Updated the web banner graphics: * according Bernhard's proposal it now uses the color Green for external banners * Logo position improved, added slightly more detail * Added Nik's sweet graphics @ native speakers (David?): Could you please proofread the texts for the banners: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/FoundationChallenge#Text_Development After that, it would be great if people could add some translations - if banners are needed in different languages. @ Paulo, Nik: If you have some time, could you please dive into working on the missing graphics? It would be great if you could coordinate this on this list, to avoid doubled effort. If you miss the time, I'll jump in tomorrow ... but I'd like to work on other less visible funding stuff :-\ The missing items are listed here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/FoundationChallenge#Required_Items Finally, here is the recent web banner - but since the Wiki seems to dislike me today, I had to use text links on the wiki page: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/5/58/LibreOffice_FoundationChallenge_WebBanner_728x90.png Am Samstag, den 19.02.2011, 02:06 +1100 schrieb Nik: On 6:59 AM, Christoph Noack wrote: Cool, thanks for the proposal ... and moreover, thanks for jumping especially since your time is limited (as I know very well).

It's a piggy-bank and a coin-stack, they aren't great or many, but it's all I could get done in a couple of hours =( When I showed the piggy-bank to my girlfriend, she instantly mentioned that a cloverleaf is missing ... to us, it's a symbolism for luck and prosperity [1] :-) I thought it might fit - since it would provide a great connection to the LibreOffice green, so I've created a quick draft (nothing thrilling). I picked a cloverleaf at OpenClipart.org, adapted the colors, adapted it and ... here is a draft. Along with the LibreOffice logo to show how it might fit together on the website: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/dbhBrQXYlkf78ytr5H-VeQ?feat=directlink Thoughts?

Hi all, On 6:59 AM, David Nelson wrote: Hi, :-) I'd love to see some different ideas from the other guys, especially Paulo, and from Nikash... David Nelson Geez David that's mighty flattering of you. You'll make a grown man blush with that kinda talk old chap =) I'm sorry if I've missed the boat or if better ideas were discussed, I've a mountain of Email to conquer, I just wanted to respond quickly. I've uploaded another idea here; http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:FundraisingBanner.jpg While I'd agree that the current banner is clear, I think it is important to create a /pleasant/ atmosphere around the progress-meter (which the blue will do nicely, and red, for me at least, is creating uneasiness and certainly not a positive association), not a sense of panicked-urgency even /if/ that is the case. I also think it shouldn't be contained in a conventional box/banner because people have become immune to top-banner ads, there is a greater chance they will ignore it if it looks like an advertisement. Oh and I should mention, the current banner breaks the page formatting on my computer. See capture; http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:BrokenBanner.jpg (I'm in the unfortunate position of using an old windows XP machine / resolution 1280x800 / Firefox3.6.13, but I imagine there's plenty of people in this ruddy old boat) Again, disregard this if it's too late. Sorry I couldn't help earlier. Time, she is always running out on me. -Nik PS. When it is pertinent, I'd like to raise the matter of streamlining the chat/facebook/extensions links on the homepage. They look scruffy and make the page busy, I'm sure there's a way of reducing the visual clutter. Let me know if anyone is interested in this as well. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to website+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/website/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

Hi David, *, On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 6:19 PM, David Nelson comme...@traduction.biz wrote: I like your banner proposal. Nice and clean. Frankly, Christoph, speaking purely personally, I'm not too crazy about your idea. But, in reality, I think it would be better to stick with Bernhard's banner, which we have up on the site now. No sense changing horses in mid-stream... Oh, I don't see a problem with that, sure, don't replace the banner the day after it was added, but as finalizing the proposal takes a couple of days anyway... And it would also be nice to have a banner that can be used on third-party sites as well (this rather quickly) ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to website+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/website/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
