[libreoffice-design] Re: [Buttons] Creating/Improving LibreOffice web banners/buttons for external website use
I was about to nudge the list to see if anything could to be done about creating buttons and notice that KJ has added some samples on the wiki page[1]. Here are my impressions: * 88x15 and 88x31 -- nice designs. The problem I see with these is that I don't think the TDF/LibreOffice page icon is yet well known enough. Could we see LibreOffice there instead of the page icon? Or, actually, could you leave these buttons there and have another set without the page icon but with LibreOffice (in LibreOffice green)? 110x32 -- could you re-size the 88x31 to this size? The rest of the sizes are great! They are really banner size once they get to this size, but nice to have. I like the 728x90 that offers different colours for use on external website where colour is a concern, but, IMO, we should not stray too far from our iconic LibreOffice green+scatter+page icon elements; this is what really sets us apart from the look'n'feel of other office suite icons. QR codes! Thanks! These will really come in useful for marketing purposes. Works great! Once these are done, could they be put up to a vote and then then listed on the official design resources page[2]? Once they are listed on the official resources page, I'll see about getting the buttons setup for hosting on our servers and start advertising the fact that we now have buttons for external site use. Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi Klaus Le 2012-05-06 12:50, klaus-jürgen weghorn ol a écrit : External Banners which holds valid information of parameters to constructing web banners/buttons. For organizational purposes, this wiki page could be adjusted to include buttons: * http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/External_web_banners The first step is: Which size(s) are needed first? Here are some proposals for 728x90: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/External_Banner_728x90 But as I heard from different sides there is a urgent necessity for some smaller banners and buttons. I love those banners. Could you have the design team look at these and then if all agree we could then post these on the Design Visual Elements wiki page[1]. The marketing team would also appreciate having the svg version also as the different language groups will want to modify with native text for their use.

Hi Alex, Le 2012-05-08 11:32, Alexander Wilms a écrit : Hi all, I added two designs to the wiki page Regards Alex Thanks for the samples. I think that there would be a need for even smaller buttons. Take a look at the footer on my site: http://www.EarlyMusicNews.org, where I have put in a link to LibreOffice. I think that any of those two buttons would not look right on the footer which is where most websites would most likely offer to put our buttons, even if I put them on the right-hand side of the footer section. The buttons are still too big. Could you make these smaller still? Below are the size of buttons I feel we should offer for external use; I've left my personal comments on where I think the buttons could be used. Sizes we need[1][2][3]: 80x15 -- I would add this to my website's footer 88x31 -- I would expect heavy use of this size for most sites -footer 110x32 -- I could see this size used in footer or left/right columns 120x60 -- These last 3 sizes -- mostly for left/right column use 125x50 180x60 BTW, yes png's are nicer to see on the wiki, but it would be nice to also have the svg's as most marketing language groups will need to replace the text with their own native language.
