#801 Art request: "Common Bugs" category headers and user avatar
Opened 2 years ago by mattdm. Modified 2 years ago

Deadline

No deadline; nice to have before Christmas

Size requirements in pixels if applicable

Avatar icon is 128×128 in native size (possibly 256×256 some places?) and also appears at 32×32.

For the category icons, native size where this is used is 150×150, but also shows up at 40×40.

If this is a logo or icon for an application

I need four related icons.

  • A user avatar for a "Common Issues Bot"
  • A category icon for "Common Issues" — a list of known problems people might encounter in a Fedora Linux release, and their workarounds and/or solutions
  • A category icon for "Proposed Common Issues" — suggestions for the previous list, under discussion.
  • A category icon for "Archived Common Issues" — where the above posts go after the release is out of support.

Since issues are "bugs", I was thinking a bug makes a good avatar and theme. But maybe something like ladybugs or fireflies or dragonflies or butterflies? Something cute, not gross. Ideally, a "common" bug, though, not something too exotic.

Ooh, a butterfly theme idea:

  • Bot avatar: a robot butterfly
  • Common Issues icon: a little scene with lots of butterflies?
  • Proposed Common Issues icon: a caterpillar! (Or several caterpillars on a plant?)
  • Archived Common Issues: um, butterfly with a pin in it in a collection comes to mind, but that's a bit morbid. Ghost butterfly? Your ideas here. :)

But that's just a thought — I'm open to other ideas!

What application is this for?

This will be used on Ask Fedora, which uses the Discourse forum software. See proposal at https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/proposal-migrate-common-bugs-from-the-wiki-to-ask-fedora/17794

Brief description of what the application does

Discourse is forum software; this is for a particular category and use case of that software, as described above. We'll be using this theme component to decorate the category (that's category icons). And the bot user is https://ask.fedoraproject.org/u/issuebot/ (with placeholder ladybug avatar).

Packager or developer contact information (IRC nick + email + wiki profile page link)

It's me:


Can we dial up the cute a little bit?

Oh, sorry I forgot to comment here rather than just on twitter!

I like the direction. Maybe the arms could be a little more mechanical?
