Assets #10

Closed LE0616 closed 3 years ago

LE0616 commented 3 years ago

This thread is for requesting and submitting external assets for the Imageshare Extension (ex icons, images etc). Below will be a running draft list of asset needs as they arise. Specifics TBD.

Icons: Main Extension Icon Optional: Submenu Icons

LE0616 commented 3 years ago

@clapierre I'll post in here as asset needs become more specific.

LE0616 commented 3 years ago

@clapierre

For Chrome & Firefox:

  1. 128x128 icon - used during installation and by the Chrome Web Store
  2. 48x48 icon - used in Chrome extensions management pages and the Add-ons Manager in Firefox
  3. Optional 16x16 icon - used as favicon for extension pages

For Safari:

  1. 512x512 icon - used as App icon
  2. 1024x1024 icon - used as App icon in App Store

@LE0616 So would all these images look the same just in different sizes I assume, and this would be what we want our Imageshare icon to be is the correct? Also, will there be other Icon's we will need or is this the only one?

clapierre commented 3 years ago

Also @sinabahram could we use this Icon on our main Imageshare website as well to help with this branding? If so would we just use one of those icon images or would we need something like a PNG image or SVG image?

sinabahram commented 3 years ago

Yup, we can definitely use the same asset, but you may wish different branding for the extension VS the website. It is up to you.

clapierre commented 3 years ago

@LE0616 still blocking on my question above. IE: So would all these images look the same just in different sizes I assume, and this would be what we want our Imageshare icon to be is the correct? Also, will there be other Icon's we will need or is this the only one?

LE0616 commented 3 years ago

@clapierre yes they would look the same, just drawn in the size needed for the context. For now, I'm only seeing the need for the one icon yes. As Sina mentioned it can be your current website icon, or if you wish, you can use a different branding icon to distinguish the site from the extension.

clapierre commented 3 years ago

Great, thanks we don't yet have an Imageshare Icon on our website so we will make one that works for both. Thanks for the clarification, I will now get marketing to help on this.

LE0616 commented 3 years ago

@clapierre We're also going to need the icons from the "Type" dropdown in Advanced Search. Thanks :D

clapierre commented 3 years ago

@LE0616 Where would you like me to upload them to as we already have them in the main Imageshare Repo I believe.

LE0616 commented 3 years ago

@clapierre Oh of course, great! I'll grab them from the repo.

clapierre commented 3 years ago

Here is the idea we are thinking for the Logo. There are a few options here one of which I think will replace the Website ImageShare Logo in the top left corner of all pages (its a rectangular Logo. But there are a couple square shaped logos for the extension one that is only an image of an outline of a mountain with an arrow up representing the sharing option, the other two options is the same image with the text either in all Uppercase or our traditional "Imageshare" text below that. I am leaning towards the Mixed case option since that is the current branding but wanted to get your opinion if having the text in that icon would be a problem or not?

So my preference for Large Scale Logo would be 2 for the website (alt text: "Logo: Imageshare, A Benetech Initiative") Small Scale Logo either 1 or 3 for the extension (alt text: "Logo Imageshare")

Love to hear your opinions.

Imageshare Logo Mock Up 2

sinabahram commented 3 years ago

Please never use all-caps for anything, full stop.

Other than that, no observations on my end.

clapierre commented 3 years ago

@LE0616 So what works best in my question above concerning the thumbnail logo for the extension?

LE0616 commented 3 years ago

@clapierre #1 of Small Scale Logo is my preference for the extension thumbnail. The use cases for extensions are rarely large enough for readability of text. @sinabahram do you concur?

clapierre commented 3 years ago

I was thinking the same thing @LE0616 so #1 of the Small Scale Logo's would be best for the extension.

I will get my marketing department to then make this Logo What format should it be? JPEG, PNG, SVG?

for these following sizes: For Chrome & Firefox:

128x128 icon - used during installation and by the Chrome Web Store 48x48 icon - used in Chrome extensions management pages and the Add-ons Manager in Firefox Optional 16x16 icon - used as favicon for extension pages For Safari:

512x512 icon - used as App icon 1024x1024 icon - used as App icon in App Store

sinabahram commented 3 years ago

test it at 400% zoom, if good, then I agree.

LE0616 commented 3 years ago

@clapierre If you could shoot me jpg and svg that would be great.

clapierre commented 3 years ago

@LE0616 I have pushed the new imageshare logos to use to the repo under a new folder "icons" feel free to move them to where you would like.

LE0616 commented 3 years ago

@clapierre wonderful. thank you so much.

LE0616 commented 3 years ago

@clapierre Would it be possible to get "Imageshare-logo-no-text.png" in a 1.5:1 ratio size?

clapierre commented 3 years ago

@LE0616 Here you go, its large but easy to scale it to the size you need. Imageshare-logo-no-text-3000x2000.png

jkva commented 3 years ago

Closing as no longer a relevant issue - the assets are currently part of the various build targets.
