2009/5/11 Paul W. Frields sticks...@gmail.com Thanks for those changes, Paolo! You're welcome! :-) Are there any other issues with these banners that need to be looked at? I think we have definitives versions for both banners (small and big): Released banner - big: https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/7/7a/Fedora11-released-banner-big_1e.png https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/b/bd/Fedora11-released-banner-big_1e.svg (see Nicu's attachment in the previous email for JPG version) Released banner - small: https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/b/b7/Fedora11-released-banner-small_1.png https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/f/ff/Fedora11-released-banner-small_1.svg 2009/5/11 Nicu Buculei nicu_fed...@nicubunu.ro I think it is fine so I attached a JPEG version, which is decreasing the file size from 125.4KB to 30.8KB with the cost of turning the corners from transparent to flat white and an almost invisible lossy image degradation (I think 96 is the optimum spot for file size/image quality in this case). I agree with JPG choice, IMHO the big banner in PNG is a bit heavy for the home page.
