Branding

F Flaburgan Public Seen by 27

It's important to have a well defined branding, we should set rules and provide resources (for example in a wiki page) to help people who want to create around diaspora*.

I'm pretty sure on the consensus, too.

@goob: If you insist on having a proposal for this, I am certainly not against it, but I also am not 100% that voting on this particular issue would be all that necessary. I think your points are great as-is, personally. :)

@seantilleycommunit , I don't insist - I just thought for something like this we should just make it an official decision. But if no one else feels that way I'm happy to go with the flow.

I've made a proposal in this discussion just to be on the safe side.

In our story about modern social networks we would like to introduce diaspora to our readers. Therefore I am inquiring about pictures of diaspora, the logo, maybe some display impressions on a smart phone, etc. .
Unfortunately I was not able to find picture material on your homepage.
Would it be possible for you to provide us with photos in a high resolution (300 dpi)?
Of course we are also going to publish your photo credits.

This inquiry came to the press box. We have https://wiki.diasporafoundation.org/Branding but it only contains small logos in PNG. Anyone got larger versions suitable for print?

Some good (non-propaganda) images we can use?

These are in SVG: http://naesk.deviantart.com/art/Diaspora-Artwork-Toolkit-254178705

Font n00b wonders if the font is the same one? :P Can add these to wiki

Also maybe suggest to the person wanting to use an image in the article to take some wallpaper from here: https://wiki.diasporafoundation.org/Logos,_icons_and_visual_art

Have added larger & therefore high-res versions of the diaspora* logo and asterisk in Roboto to the branding page. Hope these are high-res enough for the journalist.

As for screen shots of the mobile site, someone could toggle to mobile mode on a computer, resize the browser window to the right sort of size for a phone screen and take some screen grabs that way. I guess the journalist themselves could even do it if they create a trial account on a pod, which might actually be a good thing to do in preparation for writing an article in any case. I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to do this myself at the moment as am pretty ill, but hopefully someone could step in.

Thanks for making this contact, Jason.

Should we add an image from the logo in capitals (DIASPORA*) to the branding site? I think its good because in many parts of Diaspora it is used (some startpages, footer...).

@jonsger the logo in caps is being phased out.
