As our current banners around the web are starting to get stale, I suggest we create some holiday web banners.

They would be posted at:

• Forums
• www.opensuse.org landing page
• Facebook Timeline cover (851x315 px)
• Google+
• icons for Twitter, Facebook Profile Pic, etc.

I recommend that we be careful though. Do not make the banner religious, do not target a specific religion (for example, I'm Jewish, so Christmas means nothing.) It should either be broad (Season's Greetings + Happy New Year) or inclusive (All major holidays represented across multiple denominations). The latter one being more difficult and challenging to do.

Currently, the openSUSE Election Committee is using these spaces to broadcast the upcoming Board elections. But we'll be finished with that by Dec. 17th, so new holiday banners can be posted at that time.

It might be a good idea to review and develop time-appropriate banners that can be used later down the line throughout the year so we don't scramble with creativity at the last minute.

Thanks! Bryen M Yunashko

Definitively a great idea. Let us take a look and propose some ideas.

Thank you

I used a very generic idea about the profile pic for the holidays. I tried identifying openSUSE through the lemon green and the seasonal image through the snowflake and the red at the bottom. Hopefully you like it.

It fits facebook and also twitter.

Nice one Andy, simple and elegant, I like it a lot. (would you make the text a tiny bit bigger?)

If you have time, could you make something that says '5000 Likes' 'thank you for your support' or something like that for the Facebook page?

I agree it's very nice, simple and elegant. I really like it. It would be nicer making text bigger and highlighted (maybe a tiny shadow to enhance fonts). Obviously, it will need to move the lower right snowflake a bit upper.

Thanks for that great piece of art.

Hi...

My little contribution:

• http://paste.opensuse.org/45034836

Hey thank you guys for doing that I liked both but I think that Andys might would be better if ot was a bit larger and Victors if it was smaller(a bit more typical banner shaped) so that we can fit them into our blogs. just my 2 cents Kostas 'Warlordfff' Koudaras

Maybe just a bit simple... ¿?

The appropriate response is to provide a size specification you need for your blog. Blog designs vary widely as the themes are varied on blogs as well. Artists can't know every spec out there. The fact that victorhck customized a size specifically for FB is irrelevant, only that he adhered to a size I requested. And that size does fit even on my blog and in other places as well.

So, just give your size requirements for your blog, and they'll do it. Otherwise, if you all end up with a guessing-game, the artists will end up continuously re-doing the work until it fits what you need. Let's not put that much burden on them. :-)

Thanks, Bryen

It is simple and it is effective. I think this should definitely be added to the collection. One exception: You wrote "Holydays" which is much more religious than "holidays." :-)

Thanks!
