I'll work on a mockup first thing today.

Thank you, Sonja!

Here is a first design approach for this: two versions

Hi Colin and team,
you can access the link above and see the small copy tweaks, as well as illustrated Coronavirus (two versions, page 1 and 3).
Happy to look for more images if these won't work, but want to get this in front of more people as soon as possible.

I'll keep an eye out for your feedback.
Thanks.

Hi Sonja (and others), in case you didn't see in the forum, I think we're coalescing around option 1 of your three-page design mockup. I like it, Matt and Luke like it as well, and I think that's enough from the group at this point that we can proceed given the timeliness of the update. Sonja, do you want to get the dev team what they need here to make this live? Here's where the banner should link, as a reminder:

Thanks Colin,
I saw but wasn't sure how many more voices we were waiting for.

For the Dev team, here are the designs and assets:

Note: click on the code icon (on the right below comments icon) to switch to design inspector view for all specs.

I'll share the graphic separately shortly, but this can get you guys started.

You can find the covid-19 graphic in this folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19clFj-n2RZuvW_I5RS5bGqw9VmRjmjva?usp=sharing
I wasn't sure how the devs might want it exported so I did the following:
PNG: two versions with gradient background (small virus cropped and uncropped) – in case you want it uncropped for responsive
SVG: two versions with gradient background (see above)
SVG: virus only cropped small virus
AI: I've also included the illustrator file in case none of these work.

Let me know if I can provide it any other way. Happy to help.

Thanks Ray! Looks good to me. Tested on staging.
