Built with Backdrop Badge

[mikemccaffrey]

Ever since I first saw the designs for the backdrop logo and Drop the mascot, I've had this vision for creating a backdrop badge that people can add to the bottom corner of their site which expands when they mouseover it:

Based on issues like #113 and #114 , it seems like other folks are also interested in seeing more of Drop as well to make the project more engaging, so what do folks think of some usage of the logo/mascot like this?

I like.

Ha! Very cute! Are you thinking we just make a page documenting how to add something like this? We could probably turn it into a very short code-snippet (a JS <script></script> embed code) and host the script remotely.

Let’s add feature to the core with site setting: [x] Cute drop corner

If it was an option to enable on sites built with Backdrop... should it say "Built with Backdrop"?

:heart: it!!

:+1:

Lets have both the badge script (for use in 3rd party websites) and the footer on fresh installs with Bartik theme.

Well, I'm going to write a little script to include this when I get the chance. Let me know if anyone is very eager to add it to their site and I can do it sooner.

However, if we are going to adding this feature to core, we should probably see how it would work with the Powered by Backdrop footer element. https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/576

should it say "Built with Backdrop"?

Perhaps, but since the underlying purpose of the badge seems like it would be to convince other people to use Backdrop for their own sites, "Build it with Backdrop" seems like a better call to action.

"built with B.." ++

"Powered by a dragon"?

Drives curiosity and thus clicks. Just throwing it out there.

"How to build your dragon"? :smile:

Just kidding :wink:
