[Chapter-delegates] On visual identity of FB pages

[Skeeve Stevens]

Given all the social websites where a more square picture is appropriate, has ISOC thought about adding a squarish logo to the style guide?

Hi all,

I don't think we have a square version of the logo. However, Facebook does allow you to edit the thumbnail version of the logo which means you can drag it so that it fits better. Click on "change picture" (when you mouse over your logo), then "edit thumbnail"). For an example, see: http://www.facebook.com/InternetSociety

Regards,

Dan

you know what? It went through. Now I am "waiting for confirmation".

You hacker!
Does it work for Pages? I'd rather hide myself behind the page (and behind two other poor souls that admin our FB page).
One thing I noticed is our poor visual identity.
ISOC logo (especially the official "chapter logo") does fit
very poorly into current trends of square profile images.
I love Joly's solution to this problem; I decided to get rid of the ISOC
right-hand-side hatch to make it more readable.
I am all against "harmonization" i.e. making all chapters forcibly
look the same and use the same identity, but please DO check
how your logo looks in a cut-down and scaled-down square form.
It's easy to see on Facebook on our page "who likes us":

Same problem applies to sites like Twitter, actually.
