Hi
Iād love to have uploaded this to the wiki as requested, but, uh, how to register on the wiki seems to be, uh, somewhere between undocumented and unachievable.
So ā attached here is a drop-in replacement for the Open Data Services logo. Cheers!
Thanks @idlemoor.
The front page of the wiki links to the Infrastructure and Communication page which has:
To create an account on this wiki ask an existing admin to create an account for you by using the create account page (the account creation page only works for wiki admins).
There are a lot of people with administrator access who are able to create accounts for others, Iāll create one for you.
I consumed some time and have successfully crunched through every service currently in the repo. These svgs are (hopefully) syncing to the CoTech NextCloud folder as I type, but let me know if thereās a better place to put them.

Iāve added the services SVGs but it is worth noting that most of them are actually larger, some a lot larger, than the PNG versions, this is because they have been converted from raster images, rather than drawn as SVG images, if they were drawn from scratch they would be a lot smaller ā at some point in the future it would be great to have a set of original vector icons.

Iāll push all the update to the live site later.
Thanks Chris. They were mostly Font Awesome icons I believe so should be available as SVGs.
Could be a good task for someone who wants to learn how to update the website next hack day.

Nice one, thank you Chris!
Just had a look at this as it didnāt match up to my quick assessment of the size difference yesterday.
- Comparing png to svg the overall reduction for the set is 209kb.
- Of the 53 service images, 25 are now smaller (with an average decrease of 10.16kb), 10 are the same, and 18 are bigger (with an average increase of 2.5kb).
- Only 2 of the images that were image traced are among those that are now bigger (by 1kb each). The rest of the images that are now slightly larger are all open source original svgs, as the pngs were too low quality to get a good trace of.
Not sure that image trace is the culprit! Or if there is even a crime?

Really sorry, I clearly spent less time than you looking at this and of course you are right, the biggest service logos are PNG images not SVGās and size wise they are good compared to some of the the large client logos, we could do with compressing / scaling some of these.
Which services logos do we need better versions of, the ones for which āthe pngs were too low qualityā?

Hey Chris, no worries, sorry I missed this message earlier in the month.
The images where the pngs were low quality are the ones I replaced with new original vector icons, so all good for now!

Hey @chris, Iād like to add Common Knowledge to the CoTech site. Could you add me to the wiki please?
Iāve attached our logo here too.
You should have a email with a login URL, I have also made you an Administrator so you can create wiki accounts for other following the instructions here.
Iāve also added you to the CoTech group on git.coop, are you happy doing the rest yourself?

Nice one, it is on the dev site home page:
So I expect you just need to do the production deployment:

Thanks @alex, Iāve added you to the CoTech group so you can merge and deploy this ā because of the way we have the CI setup the pipeline on your copy of the repo will always fail, so best commit to the repo directly (and you now have permissions to do this), the dev site will automatically update on commits to the master branch and there is a manual CI action to update the actual site.
