= Matrix Channel Icons
Having all of our awesome Fedora Matrix channels have the same Fedora icon is going to make it hard to tell the difference between channels quickly. :)
Let's put together something like the Fedora badge guidelines, which color codes badges by category, but instead apply the same / similar color scheme to our chat rooms: https://riecatnor.wordpress.com/2014/02/24/fedora-badges-official-style-guide/
The badges should be 640x640 px I believe (will need to double-check). They get cropped into a circle.
Might be worth starting with the most popular 2-3 channels and playing with them to see what might work in terms of format. There is a listing here although it may not be up to date: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/matrix-server-channel-setup/29844/27
Note the Element client is the official one, it adds a little globe badge to the lower right of channel icons.
Other bits to consider: - official vs unofficial channels (https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/proposed-policy-fedora-chat-namespaces-servers-and-channels/32947/11) - icons for official Fedora bots? (https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/matrix-bots-i-think-we-need-what-do-you-think/32847/21)
= Sticker pack for Fedora Matrix
It might be neat to use the new character designs Lauryn created to make sticker packs for use on the server.
There is some information about them here: https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-dimension/blob/master/docs/custom_stickerpacks.md

@madelinepeck reminder ping to post the sketches / progress so far here
Some of my first sketches and then Mo pointed out to remember how the rooms and spaces icons are related to each other so I brainstormed some of the primary colors with the colorblind safe fedora palette
Here are some iterations of the welcome rooms icons! If anyone has a preference for directions I should go in please let me know :)
I noticed something with the ChRIS matrix channel icons that I happened upon by accident and it's kind of nice so I figured I'd point it out.
This is an example of one of the category icons I made for the ChRIS channels:
Because of how I sized it, when various Matrix clients circle crop it, it gives the icon a nice thick ring around the circle. I tried both the Element and Nheko clients and it works.
