Attached image TB logos
Here are TB various logos. The bird in egg is the Alpha version logo and the TB carrying mail is both Beta and release. Can you please get us some suggestions for the affiliates program knowing that we would like to prompt release download and more beta testers. thanks
Hey Anne Marie, I would suggest that you have three buttons designed in three sizes (125x125, 160x600 and 300x250): 1) Thunderbird 2) Thunderbird Beta 3) Early Bird Do you know what copy you want on each button?
Chelsea I would definitely follow up your recommandations for sizes. As far as text is concerned, I think Download Thunderbird Download Thunderbird Beta Get Early Bird Any different suggestions?
Hey Anne Marie, I think that works for the smaller buttons, but the larger ones have more space for copy. Have a look at what's been done for the Firefox buttons (release, Beta and Aurora) in the various sizes. Cheers, Chelsea
* cc-ing Matej to help polish copy once we've figured out direction. * assigning to Rhonda for design We'll also need the assets for those logos (if you have them please attach, if not I can find them). Please clarify timing for when these are due so we can plan accordingly. thanks!

Here are the details of what I need. Regarding copy, I feel like leveraging the FF texts as they are already translated and that make thing easier. Let me know if that's a problem for you. Download Thunderbird - 110*32 and 125*125 Download Thunderbird Beta - 125*125, 300*250, 160*600 Be a partner of our next version Thunderbird Beta - 160*600 Download Earlybird - 125*125 Shape the future of Thunderbird Download Earlybird - 300*250, 160*600 Regarding colors, I let you do suggestions. Thanks a lot.
A few copy tweaks from me: Download Thunderbird - 110*32 and 125*125 Download Thunderbird Beta - 125*125, 300*250, 160*600 Be a part of our next version Get Thunderbird Beta - 160*600 Download Earlybird - 125*125 Shape the future of Thunderbird Download Earlybird - 300*250, 160*600
Thanks Matej! Colour wise, the cornflower blue is part of the Thunderbird brand. So that one for sure. Anne Marie are there any other colours in that brand palette?
I'm not super familiar yet with our TB brand guidelines. Suggestions are welcome.
I just had a chat with mart3ll and he said that the dominant brand colours for TB are blue and tan, but we could go with and orange to pick up the highlight in the Thunderbird's eye: http://cl.ly/040R2t1d210f0k3t3Q42 Sound good?
Sounds good to me. Sould be eye catching. Thanks.
Hey guys-- A couple of things: The attachment is a PNG of the Thunderbird logo, but I will need EPS images of the most recent Thunderbird and Earlybird logos, as shown in http://cl.ly/040R2t1d210f0k3t3Q42. Also if you can let me know a desired due date that would be good too. Thanks! --rhonda
Andreas, can you send the TB Logo EPS files? txs
?? I have no idea of what My account has to do with this bug. Frankly I do not know what "TB Logo EPS file" that I should send you. I am sorry but I do not understand this.
Hey Anne Marie (and Andreas) I think Sean Martell Designed the new Thunderbird icons. Perhaps he has those EPS files? Cheers, chelsea
Yes. packaging up now. Please stand by...
Hey guys-- For the BETA version, did you want to make a "beta" banner that goes over the top of the logo, similar to what FF did with their banner? http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/downloads/ If so, can I get the FF file with the banner artwork in an EPS version so we can keep the BETA banners consistent? Thanks! --rhonda
Nevermind! I see how we have treated beta on the banners in the past. I'll follow that (in the text it shows BETA but not on the logo). Thanks! :) --rhonda

hey guys-- Here are two versions of the logo color wise (orange and blue) Let me know which one you prefer--FYI, the Firefox BETA banners were blue, so you may want to go with orange just for difference. Thanks! --rhonda

I kinda like the orange. The blue looks almost the same as the Firefox one. Also, will Thunderbird fit in the copy section?
Nice. Looking great! Could you try both of those using the cream/tan colours from the envelope/eggshell for the CTA ribbon instead of the yellow? I think that'd help get all the colours in there and make it stand apart from the FX ones.
Attached image Thunderbird Banner LIGHT BLUE (obsolete) —
hey guys-- Here are two versions with the tan arrow (blue and orange) I made the blue different hues than the FF Beta banner and I really prefer that with the tan over the orange. Let me know what you think. :) --rhonda

Yeah, that's nice! I agree the blue might be the stronger one here. The dominant orange + yellow cta in the previous round was a bit too Firefox and this looks spot on for TB. For the tan gradient, could we see a variant with the light tan on top + dark tan on bottom to match the light source on the logo?
Here is the tan gradient reversed. I like this better too. :) --rhonda
Attachment #601104 - Attachment is obsolete: true
gorgeous. +1 from me!
I like this blue one too. Deal.
I also like the blue one!
Ok thanks everyone. I'll get started on all the sizes then. :) --rhonda
Hey guys-- I have mocked up the first proof for the banners above and the link is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36432639/Thunderbird_PNG.zip A couple of notes on the copy requests: I tried to fit them into the designs where they made sense, but because there is an arrow that already says says "download" some of the copy was redundant in comment 6 (and we needed more to fill the space above the arrows), so I pulled some copy that seemed to fit from our last round of Aurora banners. Also, the word "Thunderbird" is really long horizontally for the 160 x 600 sized banners, and made it look pretty small, so again, instead of using the word "Thunderbird" for that size, I used alternate copy that seemed to fit. You may want to reword these once you see the shape of them and how they lay out, or, you may be OK with what is here. Take a look and let me know if we need to change anything. Thanks! -rhonda
That copy all looks great to me. Thanks, Rhonda!
it's a "Go" on my side. Thanks
Hello. How are we moving forward now? thanks.
Just waiting for the designs. I'm not sure what Rhonda's schedule is like right now, but once we have them we can add them to the EN-US locale. Then I will get started on getting the text localized for the other Affiliates locales. Cheers, Chelsea
great! thanks.
Hey guys-- sorry for the confusion, but I posted the EN PNG above in comment 31. It seemed that they were approved with no changes? They are PNG so that is the final asset unless you needed anything else. :) --rhonda
Sweet. Rhonda, I'll ping you again when we've got all the translations ready.
