In the Design Team meeting, it was mentioned that a few more details were needed about what this request would consist of.

For the wiki banner / header, I think there's already a way these are normally designed. For the text, it could be the same as the Design Team's, ("CommOps Team"). As for the logo, mleonova asked what I had in mind. We don't have anything specific created yet already. But I think the best way to represent CommOps is with multiple small "text balloons" connected to a larger, bigger central balloon (maybe with a generic avatar inside, like the one [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:FedoraMarketing.png Marketing] has).

The idea I'd like to portray is that each of the smaller balloons are the different subgroups of Fedora and the larger one is the Project as a whole. One of the major platforms of CommOps is that we want to help connect and improve communication across the entire Project, so I feel like the logo described above would be a good portrayal of that. However, I'm totally up for artistic interpretation and if you have an idea you think might make more sense to represent that, please go for it!! :)

Here's my proposal for the banner

Looks rock solid to me, mleonova! Seeing as how most of the discussion for the design happened in #415, this gets a +1 from me. I'll share with our mailing list in case there is additional feedback. :)

Ok, great!

During the Design team meeting, Marie suggested:
my thoughts on the banner are… the bubbles outside of the logo seem random. maybe try putting them all to one side or another
and the reflection is very effective, but I think a little distracting. perhaps try playing around with the opacity

So here's an updated version. Let's compare three of the banners together and see, which looks better.

I like the arrangement of the last banner, but I think the bubbles should be sorted in the order of smallest to largest. It has that sort of symbolism for "signal", which is something I think is super fitting for CommOps. Does that make sense or is it something that only makes sense to me? Wouldn't be the first time it happened. I suppose, again, I like a hybrid of the two provided. :)

I mentioned this in our own meeting that the ticket was open, so hopefully another person or two should be weighing in too.

Awesome! =) So the png is the size you requested, so I think you can use it =) Or the svg file attached, whichever is more convenient.

Fantastic, I just got it added as a banner to the wiki. It looks great and fits the template perfectly. Seeing as how the need has been completed, I see no more reason to keep the ticket open. Thanks for the '''awesome''' job on this, mleonova, we appreciate your time! :)
