Just as a fun toy, I decided to give an animated SVG "variation" of
this a go myself:

https://codepen.io/kusma/pen/vrXppL

The actual SVG can be found here:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/snippets/492

The gears were generated by this python script, based on the glxgears
source code:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/snippets/491

Now, dropping this onto the black background doesn't work that well,
as it gets a bit bland, so it's probably better to add back the colors
then.

Also, I'm not really sure if animation is a good idea or not.

Maybe it could be a link target for the static logo?

(Kind of website "easter egg").


But I definitely think logos should be vector rather than raster ;)

For Mesa, WebGL would be more fitting implementation than SVG though...

With all this talk of fancy looking new websites, I decided to take a crack
at being artsy and coming up with a fancy-looking logo to put on it.  Here's
a first rough draft:

It's not great but it turned out better than I expected.  That version looks
good on a light background but it could probably be tweaked to look good on
dark/black if we want.

Nice. That confirms we can easily get back to a something closer to
the older look in short order. (Unless the consensus is to actually
stay with the generic look.)

The gears are from Font Awesome, which comes with the RTD format.

It'd be nice to get the icon back, but the gear glyph is an
improvement compared to the house glyph.

Anyway, I stick by what I said below too in reply to Eric about
withdrawing my feedback.

my $0.02 (which is probably worth even less when it comes to the topic
of aesthetics), Laura's new proposal looks much nicer than generic rtd
which looks better than current site..

I mostly don't want to get a much needed infrastructure/process
improvement derailed with a bikeshed discussion about themes.  Nothing
against playing with theme options and seeing what people (with better
taste than me) like, just don't want that to be something that derails
the bigger picture ;-)

Entirely agreed. I also think the old style was distinctive and had
become part of the "personality" of our website, and I would like the
new website to look similar, but this is a minor detail that we can
trivially alter later.

For now let's focus on the infrastructure changes, discussing the style
can be done in parallel or later, but shouldn't block this.


BR,

A few of the commits are quite large and awaiting list
approval.  I
suggest
that you take a look at the code here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/ldeks/mesa/tree/website1_75,
and the new website here: https://mesa-test.freedesktop.
org/index.html

I think the theme should be changed to look somewhat close to
the
current mesa3d.org website before changing the main site.
(Color
scheme and missing icons.)

Right now the test website looks like a million other sphinx
websites,
including every readthedocs book.

Based on http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/ and
https://www.python.org/, I would say sphinx gives a lot of
opportunities for a custom look.

I think looking like a generic other sphinx website is a step
forward,
and I look forward to this series landing.  No need for
continuity with
the old theme.

I think it is 1 step forward, 1 step back. As no else appears to
agree, I'll withdraw my feedback.
