Create Crests
Crests will appear on our website, to show off your team!
- Your crests need to be 400px by 400px
- A vector, exported as SVG (so no PNG or JPG) – which can be created with tools like Figma, Sketch, Illustrator or Adobe Fireworks.
To check if your SVG exported correctly, open it in your browser! Sometimes gradients and opacity can cause some issues.
Depending on the software you're using, there's ways to fix that. Not sure how that works? go to the Design consult channel in Discord!
We have no strict rules on what tools you should use. The only restriction is that the output is as described above, and that it's a team effort!
Figma is a good tool for visual collaboration. It is not the only one, but it works.
Choose who will create the design. This person can create an account and verify their email address. Feel free to use a Figma account you already have, but keep in mind there are restrictions on the amount of collaborative boards you can use.
You can download the discord desktop app at https://www.figma.com/. You can use the browser version, but it works a little less fluid.
This is what the board looks like:
We have prepared a template at https://www.figma.com/file/Vxqp9O3hg9sA9ItzMpwmPF/osoc-crest-template?node-id=0%3A1 open it and duplicate it to your folder like shown in the image below, or copy it to one of your own boards.
With free subscriptions, you can only add 2 editors and unlimited viewers. So choose wisely who can edit.
Add the colleagues who are allowed to view
Add the colleague who will edit with you
Go to your breakout room (shared in advance), ask someone to share the figma screen and start brainstorming!
A pro tip from our swag designer coach Niels
- Pick colors
Select the artboard and export as SVG (bottom right)
Share your crest in the folder "crests", with the name of your project. Ask your coach for the team folder.
Afterwards, we'll share you crest, with project description, on our website!
- You can also choose to use a team member's preferred software and share screens with the team.
- Feel free to use and suggest any other workflows 👌
