Hi all For the new homepage (a preview is visible at https://debian-newhomepage.larjona.net/ ), we have added some icons to the main links: * People * Our Philosophy * Get Involved, Contribute * Why Debian * User Support * Security Updates * More The current icons have been added in the /logos folder in these commits: https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/commit/1884d59866f64f362925424fe848e1bb38d80e27 https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/commit/b650c48fe04a19d5942b74c853d3833eb3a6cb66 https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/commit/0a2b0a22c65d29d138591b0734d7bb86074d82a1 AFAIK the images themselves have been taken from https://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/security_102649 Several concerns have been raised about this (about the license and about the "ying/yang" icon, that can be perceived as controversial), so I'm proposing to change them and use other icons that are distributed under a free license, and trying to avoid controversial images. My proposal, for now, is to use icons from the "Fork Awesome" [1] or "Material" [2] fonts. Both have free/open source license and are packaged in Debian [3] [4]. [1] https://forkaweso.me/ [2] https://material.io/resources/icons/ [3] https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=fonts-materialdesignicons-webfont [4] https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=fonts-fork-awesome However, I don't know if the Debian packages include the icons we particularly want. I've done some proposals for new icons in: https://deb.li/ideasnewweb if you can comment or help us, we can figure out the ones we all like best and then see if we can use the Debian package or download the individual images from the newer upstream repo. I'm not sure about how to actually include and show the icons (fonts) in the website either, but I guess other people know, and if not, I would have a look at the documentation.
