@smeragoel @riecatnor Please, I would like to work on this. Is there any concept you would like me to work with? Thank you

Hi @quintessential yes go ahead :) the concept in the description is "crows on a telephone wire" . You can go with that, or come up with your own idea. The badge is earned or leaving your first comment on https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/ - its a community space for discussions about a wide range of topics, take a look around for yourself and maybe it will inspire you! :)

Hi Marie @riecatnor. I finally made my first drafts. What do you think?

I made a little change here by making use of the Fedora discussion forum icon

Hello @quintessential! Very nice to see your first attempt :D I have a couple of suggestions:

• The pandas look a bit stiff, and maybe this side view isn't the greatest. Try experimenting with different angles so that you can use existing panda artwork from other badges without having to create one from scratch. That helps with maintaining the badge aesthetic.

• Maybe we can have more pandas, given that Discourse is about discussing with multiple people, that'd make it more relevant.

• The design is not centred. Also, it is too close to the edges, and one of the chairs is going out of the background.

• I'd also suggest trying out the initial suggestion of crows on a wire. We don't have a badge like that, so it could be an interesting addition!

Looking forward to your next draft :D

Hi @smeragoel @riecatnor I drew a crow for Discourse badges https://pagure.io/fedora-badges/issue/636 - if you like this design I believe we can put these crows on a wire easily. Let me know what you think.

Hi @riecatnor @smeragoel I came up with another design adding a crow this time. How does this look?

Hello again @riecatnor @smeragoel so I did use the crow I made for discourse for this badge's design, let me know if you like it. I like the cute aesthetic, but I feel they may be too black, but at the same time going towards grey makes them look like pigeons so not sure what to do :/

Hi @quintessential nice improvements! Some recommendations:
- I think you have a solid beginning on the illustration, but i think things are blending together right now. Try adding in strokes and using a variety of greys from dark to light to help make the design more clear.
- Thicken up the branch
- Make the background a lighter set of blues
- There is something going on with the bubble around the "hello", it looks uneven on the left, make sure the bubble shape is consistent
- Add in some space between the letters in "Hello!", right now they are so close they are blending all togther
I look forward to your next draft!

Hi @riecatnor @smeragoel

I put some life into the design guided by @riecatnor recommendations. What do you think about this version?

Hi @quintessential!
- While these are great illustrations, they miss the aesthetic of Fedora Badges. You can familiarise yourself with the aesthetic of the badges by going through the style guide (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/badges/_attachments/fedora-badges-style-guide.pdf) and the Badge Index (https://badges.fedoraproject.org/explore)
- The text sty;e also doesn't match the fedora style. Using the correct font/letter spacing will be an improvement!

Hello @smeragoel @riecatnor r, Here is my take on the conversation starter badge, I'm looking forward to your feedback.

hi, "smeragoel "riecatnor . this ticket has being sitting in my draft for a while.here is my take on this design, i improved on "anoshkad ticket following the review gave to him. i replaced the black to ash color while also adding yellow to the bick and blue to the eye. i added legs to the crow and change the crow gesture to more conversation like. looking forward to your feedback.

hi @smeragoel @riecatnor, I know that my previous design hasn't gotten feedback but I noticed @riecatnor mentioned that having a raven instead would be a good idea, so I tried to make another version.
