@PostersUnionAU @shlee Do we have a "Hosted By the Australian Posters Union" badge we can put in our sidebar / footer?

@StryderNotavi @PostersUnionAU No.. I'll see how small I can make the logo.

@StryderNotavi @PostersUnionAU too large?
Show threadStryder NotaviMar 7, 2025
@shlee @PostersUnionAU It's a little large, but it could work. It probably needs either a transparent background (black or white monochrome transparent could be cool) or a defined border of some kind to help it fit into the page well.

@shlee @PostersUnionAU It might be worth simplifying it a bit - the text on the keyboard is illegible so should probably either be cleaned up or dropped from the smaller logo.

The other text probably needs to be made clearer - which might require playing with some of the proportions.

@StryderNotavi @PostersUnionAU I'm not an artist.. but i'm also busy.. I can ask the person who made the original logo to modify it

I'll get back to you once/if that's ready
