== Deadline ==
* Fedora 24 (2016-06-07)
== Size requirements in pixels ==
* See existing dimensions on
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/PromoBanners wiki page]
== Logo or icon? ==
* Combination. Many banners use unique logos.
== What application is this for? ==
* Variety of applications, such as:
* Forum signatures
* Embedded images on websites
* Online publications writing about Fedora releases
== Description of what the application does ==
* Allows users of Fedora to share their passion and interest in Fedora
with other communities that they might be active in
== Packager or developer contact information ==
* Users listed below have at least three or more edits to the
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/PromoBanners wiki page].

I know many of these edits were made pre-2010, so it's possible many of
the above listed names are no longer active.
== Why? ==
This is something that I think is of interest to users of Fedora to show
off and have some digital pride about their operating system to others in
a community. The reason I am filing this ticket is from someone who asked
about it in a [https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/marketing-year-in-
review/#comment-363 comment] on the Community Blog.
However, before I was involved as a contributor, I frequently looked for
updated banners to use in forum signatures on other communities and forums
I participated in. Therefore, this comment reminded me of the same want
that I had a long time ago too. I think it would be a good interest to
look at redesigning these banners to a more modern / clean look, and then
maybe making them more release-generic, allowing them to be reused for
future releases.

Comment (by jflory7):
I meant to clarify before I made the ticket, but the deadline is very
flexible… obviously, there is not an urgent need to have them done by F24
(seeing as they were last updated around F13 / F14 time or so). However, I
thought that the next release would make a good deadline as this might be
when users start looking for them more.
Having them available for the next release would also come with the
benefit of extra promotion and exposure if an article highlighting them
were to be published on the Magazine at the time of release too.

For now,
closing the ticket.
We discussed this at our most recent marketing meeting.
We think that a lot of the images on this page could be updated to more
generic, release-neutral images that can be used by Fedora users / fans in
places like forum signatures, embedded in websites, and so on. The images
updated every release are a smaller subset of these images.
We believed that updating chunks of these images would be best, but
updated without making mention of specific releases, to increase their
lifespan and make them reusable for many releases to come. It also seems
like this page in particular gets a lot of traffic by regular Fedora users
as well.

[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/PromoBanners]. This is a very old
wiki page (last change in 2010 year) , and it's not actually. I will try
to research this issue to create a new point of our promotional banners
page.

Comment (by gnokii):
This ticket was closed on purpose, we had an conversation about exactly
that topic back on our FAD in January 2015. This page is not served
anymore for a reason! This wiki pages become very fast trash dumps for
everybody and we have to clean it. And second reason is nobody uses them,
and when there are banners needed in a special size you can open a ticket,
but we will not produce banners for no reason anymore. We skipped that. So
accept it
If you want to show that you proud of Fedora you can use the banners we
provide for each release.

exactly
that topic back on our FAD in January 2015. This page is not served
anymore for a reason! This wiki pages become very fast trash dumps for
everybody and we have to clean it.
I think the issue with this page specifically is that all of the graphics
are very release-specific, and so after a single release, they all become
outdated and irrelevant. The idea that we were proposing was that the
images be updated to be release-neutral, giving them a much longer
lifespan than single release images.
Therefore, users could download things like forum signatures, small little
badges like the ones at the bottom, and so on without having to have them
updated every six months, which is a lot of unnecessary work on the Design
Team to update a large quantity of images every six months.
And second reason is nobody uses them, and when there are banners
needed
in a special size you can open a ticket, but we will not produce banners
for no reason anymore. We skipped that. So accept it
If you want to show that you proud of Fedora you can use the banners we

for each release.
I agree that the wiki is often a mess and not the best place to store
images, but this page is something that is commonly visited, and users
have commented on the Community Blog and on other sites about this
specific page. At the very least, if there is absolutely no interest in
designing release-neutral versions of some of these images (e.g. forum
signatures, small badges, or blog icons), then the wiki page probably
needs to be denoted to represent this and redirect to the pages or
category for release-specific artwork that the Design Team is already
producing.
If there is no interest by any others on the team to update this, CommOps
can help with the wiki gardening side of things. But if it were possible,
I'd like for this ticket to at least be discussed at the next Design Team
meeting with the points I've mentioned to consider. I know you all have a
lot of work on your plate as is, and that's why there is not really a "due
date" for this ticket, but it's something that I do believe a lot of users
are actively interested in and searching for already.

Our old distribution model release banners is not relevant. Banner is not
located on the main page, and the script does not work anymore in the user
blogs, it is difficult to find in the wiki. We do not have banners of
different sizes. I have been studying this issue at the moment and try to
prepare the new page template to accommodate our promotional banners
(without taking into account the specifics of the release). It takes time.
Be patient.

Thanks for the info, inkscaper. I totally understand that this is a time-
consuming process – thank you so much for putting in the cycles on this.
Looking forward to seeing what you find and put together!

I think we need to create multiple sets of banners (for our products,
community, release) based on standard sizes to advertising, for example ->
http://www.iab.com/guidelines/universal-ad-package/. To begin, I'll try to
do it for our products and '''gnokii''' can be based on these
sizes do
sets for F24 release.

Hi jflory7, sorry for long delay. I prepared draft new wiki page for web
promotional banners
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Web_Promotional_Banners]. I going to
continue work on the next banners pack (community).

Alright, awesome! Thanks much, inkscaper. I just went to the old page,
marked it as old, and added links to the top pointing to the new page. I
also added the Design Team header to the top of that wiki page. I think
I'll also drop a line to the Ambassadors list linking to this page, as
these are some great resources.
Think we're good to close this ticket?
