[Branding] Sentry OSPO Mascot or Insignia #70

Closed souredoutlook closed 9 months ago

souredoutlook commented 1 year ago

Problem Statement:

Members of the support-open-source team realized that not all of our colleagues at Sentry are aware of our work or affiliation with team-ospo and the open source community.

Brainstorming:

We thought it might be worth pursuing internally as a team, and with design, some kind of mascot, or insignia that helped signal to our colleagues and the community these additional responsibilities.

MOAR Brainstorming

What do you think of when you think of Sentry's open source community? Is it ubiquitous cat-butt? Is it ever-dancing Chad 💃 ?

We've already got sentry-pink Octocat looks like this logo might be offlimits for reasons: image

Oooooh. Where would you see this being used or showing up?

BYK commented 1 year ago

We definitely need a purple dancing Chad

Yes.

Where would you see this being used or showing up?

Something for the team to have in their slack bios (and as a slack emoji) and also in our Slack/GitHub profile pics - something that visually points that out would be helpful in raising awareness.

Might also be helpful for visually identifying our Vanguard/Shipped posts and pinned comments etc.

We'll also be getting the rest of the crew onboard with cartoon headshots just to keep things looking professional and uniform.

How are we doing on awareness of Support's role w/ GitHub, @souredoutlook? Is this ticket still interesting beyond the obvious appeal of having Creative make a purple dancing Chad? 😁

I think by now the visibility of support's role in open source is higher, I'm going to close this out. <3
