 Hi, that would be nice to advertise other Fedora release.
 The idea is to display a banner at random instead of the static one on the
 right side "There is more fedora" from there:
 https://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora

 We should instead link the new banner to the corresponding tab at
 http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options (cloud, arch, secondary
 arch, spins).

 Any brillant idea?

Comment (by robyduck):

 Just a small additional info: the banner we want to replace with 4 random
 ones is the grey "Fedora Spins" in https://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora
 on the right sidebar. It has a width of 200px, the height can change, but
 75px as actually is a good choice.

 For 'cloud' see also #224 and #242, 'arch' means Desktop (32 and 64
bit).

Comment (by robyduck):

 I like the 2nd arches banner, the others need still some work IMHO:

 1) Fedora Desktop 1: the idea is nice, but I think it doesn't respect the
 logo guidelines\\
 2) Too high, better the first one\\
 3) The Spins banner I like more is the third one, but it has to be "Spins"
 and not "Spin".

 I don't know if these banners, after resizing them to a width of 200px,
 are clearly readable.

Comment (by niteshnarayan):

 All the banners are of width 200 px andd height of around 120px .
 Fedora Spins at the place of Spin, that much I could change easily.
 so we are left with Fedora Desktop I could redesign it.

Comment (by robyduck):

 Personally I like:
 * https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/attachment/ticket/268/drawing13.png
 for the Desktop
 * https://fedorahosted.org/design-
 team/attachment/ticket/268/Fedora2ndArch.png for 2nd arch
 * https://fedorahosted.org/design-
 team/attachment/ticket/268/FedoraSpin-3.2.png for Spins

 We need also to have the banner for cloud, but they should all have the
 same size, and must comply with the guidelines.\\
 I like simple banners, without too much elements inside, but what about
 adding some nice effect, such as a mirror or a shadow? Unfortunately my
 graphic skills are very bad and I don't even have so much fantasy... :)

 Thank you for working on it.

Comment (by shaiton):

 IMHO: It's better if they all follow the same design (or at least have the
 same shape or colors). Just an idea.

 * Fedora2ndArch.png is nice but I would think it's more about 32Vs64bits
 than secondary architectures. But could works though.
 * FedoraSpin-3.png is nice but I don't know if the grey background comply
 with the logo guidelines
 * For desktops I prefer drawing13.png but.

 On an other hands, what we call Fedora Desktop is the default Fedora with
 GNOME for 32 or 64 bits.
 KDE, LXDE and Xfce are under the Spin umbrella. Sorry, I was not crystal-
 clear.

 Thanks for your artwork!

Comment (by duffy):

 Hi Nitesh,

 Here's some feedback on the latest designs:

 - '''General''': all of the designs you've done are different
sizes /
 aspect ratios. I think for the website this will be a problem. We have a
 standard size of banner we've traditionally used on fedoraproject.org -
 the size is 200x100 pixels (and usually with rounded corners. See our
 current release banner for an example:
 https://fedoraproject.org/static/images/banners/f18release.png )

 - '''drawing13.png''': as shaiton already commented, this one is
 problematic because it lists 4 separate desktops. The Fedora desktop spin
 is the GNOME spin. So this should only use the GNOME symbol. Also, the
 font used for 'Desktop' is not correct. It should be Comfortaa. Please see
 the following guidelines for creating this logo:
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines#Fedora_Sub-
 Logos:_Standard_uses_of_the_Fedora_Logo_with_other_elements

 - '''drawing.png''': this is an OK concept but the text is far
too small
 to read. :( Can you make the image and text bigger?

 - '''drawing14.png''': this is a misuse of the four foundations
logo - you
 simply can't use it in that way, sorry. :(

 - '''Fedora 2ndArch Banner.png''': again, this is an okay concept
but the
 text is far too small to read.

 Hope this helps.

Comment (by hiponboy):

 May i suggest that instead of just one proposal, make at least 5 different
 proposals per banner, '''make a lot of them'''.

 Don't dedicate much time to them, just quick differents proposals.
 In that way we can compare designs and provide you better feedback, and
 find what work best.

 Iterating over just 1 design will take you a lot of time and may not
 achieve great quality.

 ñ_ñ waiting for your great ideas

 Cheers =)

 PD: 'Different' means radically differents, not just small changes on
 colors or sizes, etc.

Comment (by hiponboy):

 About the feedback of the current designs.

 First of all, i must say that i don't represent the design team opinion,
 just mine.

 I don't see why you have to stamp the fedora logo in all the designs.
 Using the fedora typography and/or fedora colors should be enough to link
 your concept with fedora.

 [https://fedorahosted.org/design-
 team/attachment/ticket/268/FedoraSpingFinalV2.png Spin]: The layout is
 cleaner than before which is a plus working on small sizes, the gears
 aren't working for you, they are creating some artifacts. Aside from that,
 i don't see how a gear is related to a spin, maybe an ice cream will be
 more related or some cirles/dots with different colors, etc.

 [https://fedorahosted.org/design-
 team/attachment/ticket/268/Fedora2ndArchsFinalV2.png ARCHS]: Since i'm not
 a native speaker i can't understand what does this means. But i can tell
 you that in this case you have contrast problems, for example the fedora
 logo is lost inside the microchip, the dark blue doesn't make contrast
 with black. The same happens to the cables of the microchips.

 [https://fedorahosted.org/design-
 team/attachment/ticket/268/FedoraDesktopFinalV2.png Desktop]: It has much
 better contrast than before. Don't know why the 64 couldn't be aligned
 with the 32 bits.

 In the overall you are making progress, but as i said in me previous
 feedback, if you make different proposal per banner you will achieve the
 final result faster and better.

 I like the last banners you uploaded :)

 There is only the Desktop banner which has a very large font. If you can
 make it like the others I think they are ok for being pushed into
 production.

Comment (by ryanlerch):

 The background colours still make it a little hard to read the text on
 most of the banners.

 Also, not sure if we need the fedora logo on these banners either. They
 are going to be on the fedora site, so not sure if we want to use precious
 space on the banners to re-display the logo.

 Here is a quick re-do of the banners that i whipped up:

 I really liked the above designs, simple yet effective.
Although I was
 thinking to make some modifications in the spin banner. But right now I am
 not sure what those changes will be. If time allows I will make the
 changes and put it here .
 Thanks Ryan :)
