>>Project/Request Title:
40 x 50 svg or png icons needed for Add-ons / Themes snippets

>>Project Overview:
We're starting to incorporate specific add-ons and themes promotions from the snippets and will need the 40 x 50 icons to support the messages. (We are going to push these normal snippets out first pointing users to the add ons page, while we wait for the functionality to let users actually activate from the snippet). 

Here are five to begin with (we can use the icons that are on these pages, I just need them reconfigured to 40 x 50 if possible):

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/japanese-tattoo/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/japanese_sky01/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/aurora-australis/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager/?src=search

Hi Jean, 

How does this relate to bug 1048557? It seems like whatever style we decide to use would apply to both projects. 

Also, I'm a little worried about timing, since we are pretty loaded with high priority projects. I'll have to get back to you on whether we can make it work or if we need some flexibility. 

Thanks!

Hey Jen! 
This is different from bug 1048557 because these are just normal copy and small icon pointing to the add on landing page whereas in the other bug, it's a fancier version with more copy and has a drop down right in the about:home to activate the add-on right there (essentially different functionality). 

Totally understandable about the tight timing, could I just get at least one icon (one of the themes) before the asked deadline date? 

Let me know, thanks!

Wow Elio, thanks for tackling this! I'll let the creative team double confirm that they're fine with these icons. Can you also let me know if these are 40 x 50? Some look a tad bigger but it could be a perception thing. Thanks.

Jean, they are all 40x50px (40 width, 50 height), just checked it again :)
Yeah color contrast can change the perception.

[John Slater]

Thanks Elio!

What do you think about adding a slight drop shadow to the bottom? That might make them sit on the about:home page a little more nicely.

Comment 8

[Elio Qoshi [:Elio]]

Thanks John!

That means I need to slightly resize those in order for the final images WITH drop shadow to be 40x50 or should I just add drop shadow as they are with the final images having bigger dimensions?

I guess first, but just making sure.

Comment 9

[John Slater]

Yes, I would slightly resize, then add the drop shadow. Thanks!

Thanks Elio.

[Jean Collings]

Thanks Elio for working on this. I previewed the icons on the snippet service and found that icons 2, 3, 4 are really dark. Is there any way we can lighten them up? Let me know, thanks!

Jean, I used the original previews, it's just a perception due to the small size of the icons.
However I lightened up 2,3,4 a bit, as suggested by you :)
Have a look
