Add Wikimedia logos icons in OOUI and Codex
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Background

The structured data team is currently working on improving the special:search page. As part of the improvements we are updating how we present sister projects in the search results as explained in this ticket. We are replacing the coloured logos with simplified black and white logos as shown at the bottom of the library here. However only Commons, Wikidata and Wikipedia logos are currently available in OOUI and the rest are missing.

The icons to be added are here:

User story

  • As a designer, I would like to have all the new black and white Wikimedia logos available in the OOUI library so the developers on structured data team can use them in order to implement T307468

Acceptance criteria (or Done)

A new SVG will need to be added to:

  • Codex
  • OOUI

Design resources

(The new icons will be added here in an optimized SVG) – it seems better to keep them in Figma and in code only (Codex/OOUI) given the number of icons in question.

@Sneha, do you have an update on the status of this? thanks!

@CBogen looks like we have some icons available now but not all. @Volker_E was working on this ticket and is on vacation right now so he can update more when he is back.

@Sneha Sorry for delay the last couple of months were occupied with getting Codex of the ground in best possible way.
The icons should be in both, Codex and OOUI in the next 2-3 weeks.

LGTM we can move this task to Product sign off since I think we don't need the QTE sign off in this task.

Can I ask why we're shipping these in MediaWiki core?

It's ~0.5MB of files that most 3rd party wikis don't need.

Obviously this may apply to the wider wikimediaui theme to some extent too...

More specifically, spending 202KiB twice on representing the Wikinews logo seems unnecessary (the next largest is Wikinews at 21KiB; the rest are < 5KiB). Maybe we could simplify the Wikinews representation a lot?

@Jdforrester-WMF I've already brought up @matmarex inputs in Design in the assets file. We've set out to discuss featuring a smaller (favicon) inspired Wikinews icon. But that would mean we're not featuring the right logo from a community driven decision, which is confusing itself.

@Reedy To the general point, I can see that and would like to gather simple ideas around untangling these. We've already featured Creative Commons or Wikidata logo before this change. Codex is an external library bundled up.

To clarify the design expectation here for @bmartinezcalvo or @KieranMcCann who are working on icons, is the proposal to simplify the current Wikinews icon to remove the "soundwaves" to be more like the favicon seen on Commons?

Current wikinews icon:

favicon on commons

Since this task was to add the missing Wikimedia logos to OOUI and Codex, I've created this other task T327927 to discuss and redesign the Wikinews one.

This task is done. The remaining issues with the size and detail of some of these logos are tracked in T328492 and T327927.
