Dear design fellows,
TDF plans to introduce badges [1] that are meant to award and recognize
contributions made to the project in the various aspects. And we, the design
team, got asked to provide catchy stickers. Some examples have been done a
couple of years ago [2] looking pretty good. But since the project has grown we
also need more stickers.
We will have seven content types with different categories depending on the
content:
* Infra: Patrol the wiki, Moderate lists, Admin LO instances, Attend meetings,
Main sys admin group
* Development: Building LO, Attend ESC meetings, Admit to ESC, First commit, n
commits, Contribute with unit tests
* QA: Report bugs, Confirm bugs, Comment bugs, Bibisect, Improve report
metadata, Triage bugs, Mentor people, Report blogs item, Write UI tests, Write
cpp unit tests, Write unit tests in Python, Attend meetings, Participate to
BHS, Check regressions, Verify fixed bugs
* Documentation: Write a FAQ entry, Write a guide chapter, Proof read a
contribution, Write a HC entry, Commit a HC entry, Write an How-To/tutorial,
Register a video, Write wiki page, attended x meetings
* UX/Design: Attend meetings, n added icon to a set, n added comments on BZ,
meta categorization, file a ticket, comments on tickets, share ideas/mockups,
write blog entry
* Localization: Translate UI, Translate Help, Translate website, Translate
LOOL, Translate PR, Translation marathon, Translate Video,
Translate Documentation, Translate Mktg material, Review translations, Maintain
NLP sites
* Native language project: All contributions in native language, local events
organization, local events attendance, local blogs
* Community/Social marketing: Design material, Website contribution, Blog
contribution, Booth attendance, Events attendance, SSO account
* Product marketing: Attend meetings
* Community support (Ask LibO): Moderation, Answering, Asking, Tagging/cleaning
* Misc: Consolation prize, Membership Committee member, Board member,
LibreLadies member
As you can see, the of badgable activities can be improved (suggestions
welcome). So the artwork needs to be flexible. Some activities have levels, for
example bronze for submitting 1 patch, silver for 100, and gold for 1000. I
would show this by color and stars on the image.
So putting all together, the idea is to draw images that ideally are easy to
recognize as related to TDF (donkey ear) with shapes per content (eg. shield,
circle, star, book, pentagon...) and different icons inside. The frame may or
may not receive decorations (ie. stars). A rough draft of the idea is here

Everyone who is capable of visual artwork, please help with design of those
badges. More ideas and opinions are welcome too, of course.
Cheers and thanks in advance,
Heiko
