Problem/Motivation

The Project Browser Initiative wants nice project logos for better UX. The logo will be displayed on the card for your module in the Project Browser (as well as on drupalcode.org as your project avatar, and on drupal.org on your project page).

The Flag module needs a logo for this objective.

Proposed resolution

Note there is a 9 year old issue:

#2463791: Add Flag Logo SVG to the repository

That created this logo but it doesn't show up on the project page. It can be used for inspiration though :)

  • Create a logo that is 512x512 square dimension in PNG format without animations.
  • The file size should be 10k or less.
  • Use a lossy image tool (such as pngquant) to reduce the file size while keeping the image quality at around 80%.

Examples:

MAINTAINERS: Once a logo is reviewed and approved, it should be added to the root folder of your project's repo, and be named logo.png. This must be present on your project’s default branch. If you have a logo as the first image in the Images field on your project page, please remove it. The logo will be displayed on the cards in the Project Browser grid and list views.

Thanks @jacobadeutsch. For some reason, it looks to me like an animal head the logo is the eye... can you try adjusting the wave of the flag and/or colors to see what you can do?

Preparing a merge request helps to get those flags committed, I don't have to do it manually then.

I'm not entirely sold on the whole actual flag idea. Not a native speaker, but for me, flag is more about a marker than an actual flag. I don't know how to visualize that though, and the old one was also an SVG. At least it's easy to identify and remember, even though it might not actually help a new user identify what this project does.
