Add partner logos to footer

[petersterne]

We'd like to add small versions of the partner organizations' logos (FPF, CPJ, RCFP, Knight First Amendment Institute, Reporters Without Borders, Index on Censorship) to the footer and possibly to the "About" page as well.

I know @trevortimm has some ideas about what it could look like.

[harrislapiroff]

My thought for the design here would be to divide the current footer into two columns and have the right column have a section heading that says, like "In collaboration with" or something and then has monochrome versions of the logos.

[nmorduch]

So replace the search box with this? What's the plan for acquiring logo files?

[harrislapiroff]

No, sorry, I mean the dark footer. The search box will be replaced with the email sign up form, I think. Good question on the logos. @petersterne or @aellerbeck do you have logos available for all those orgs? Probably should have worked on this earlier so we could have asked all those orgs for vectors of their logos...

Do you think it will be necessary for you to be able to change those logos from the admin? My preference in this case, since I assume this list will be mostly static, might be for us to code them straight into the templates and that will give Little Weaver the control to format them to look their best in the footer. (Someone will then need to edit the templates if an org needs to be added or removed.)

[harrislapiroff]

Alternatively @nmorduch, we could try to design it to be flexible and allow the editors to upload logos... just seems like that space will have a lot of design requirements for the images that go there.

[petersterne]

@harrislapiroff The 6 logos in the footer will probably be static, at least for the first 6 months, but the ~20 logos in the logo cloud might change.

[harrislapiroff]

Perfect. The logo cloud for the about page (or wherever you choose to put it) is definitely going to be editable. Any chance you can send us copies of those 6 logos? Bonus points if we can get them in a vector format, but I won't be too optimistic. :)

For this case, we could probably also put in some placeholders while you design, @nmorduch. I bet @conorsch and @msheiny would let us change some img tags after the code freeze. ;)

[petersterne]

@harrislapiroff The 6 logos are FPF, CPJ, Reporters Without Borders, RCFP, Index on Censorship and Knight First Amendment Institute.

I'll forward them to you.

[harrislapiroff]

After discussing with Trevor and Peter, given the number of logos, it might be simplest and most elegant to just have all the logos in a row underneath the current footer text.

[nmorduch]

In this situation I like to set height to a fixed value and width to auto. It is v nice.

[aellerbeck]

Any chance we could put a button that says "All our partners" in the footer and link it to the about page. If not, we should change the language to say: See all our partners and have it have some sort of link.

[harrislapiroff]

We can definitely have that. You're thinking of having that button or link in addition to the six logos, correct?

[harrislapiroff]

Note to @nmorduch and @raq929: the logos are in our Sync folder under Clients/FPF/CPJ Press Freedom Tracker/Logos

[raq929]

@harrislapiroff and @petersterne The KFAI logo that we have is Navy blue and is invisible on the black background. Any chance they have a white version of their logo?

[raq929]

Also the FPF logo. 😄

[raq929]

A more closely cropped CPJ logo might also be useful.

[raq929]

Created and pushed branch 224-partner-logos turning over to @nmorduch for styling.

[nmorduch]

@aellerbeck There's a link just below in the footer navigation that says Our Partners. Will you be getting rid of that or having this link duplicate?

[nmorduch]

actually i think they won't actually be next to each other

[nmorduch]

I did some more work on this but need to figure out my Adobe CC situation before dealing with the logos. Will consult with Harris when he's up.
