CUNY Academic Commons

Good call. Here's the change for the portfolio: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/3523efca7616eeb3e960d863700d54e39da023c9

We also use the old logo in the main site nav (to the far right, by the RSS icon). I've made a change locally to see what the new logo looks like. It's pretty small and hard to read. Maybe Sonja could have a quick look at the screenshot to see if it reads properly. I've also attached a screenshot of another version where I increase the size of the icons to take up more of the vertical space in the menu area - this would be an alternative that's easy to implement.

Hi Boone, thanks for sharing the screenshots. The footer icons are looking good as they are. For the header, I would either go with the larger size, as the current icon size is quite small. Or alternatively maybe we'll just use the icons on it's own, not inside a button. See attached mockup.

The non-button links look good to me. Sonja, can you please provide the images?

Great! Please find attached the SVGs for both icons. I would recommend to implement these icons in white on default, and use the original brand colors on hover:

Thanks.

Thanks, Sonja! I've attached a screenshot that shows the padding/positioning I chose - I tried to make it roughly match what we have now, with some tweaks to allow for breathing room. Let me know if this gets your OK. https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/81f29c765a8c164536b4db5ed944dbb080173f5c
