Review Shields descriptions #3654
Comments
It'd be a great idea to land on a single tagline and use it everywhere. Two more we use:
I thought I'd start things off by mentioning some of the things that I think are important about Shields.
The tagline should be way shorter than that, though maybe it draws from some of these things! |
Suggestion:

I wonder, instead of "metadata" if we could use a phrase like "status" or "status at a glance." |
I find the status/metadata words somewhat restrictive. Badges such as Twitter followers or Wheelmap don't naturally fall under these. Maybe:
Or:

I like this ^^ It's nice not to describe it in a way that's overly restrictive, though I think we should probably convey that it's for developers. Some ideas:
|
All SGTM. I'd suggest |
Another idea is this fun + punchy tagline:
I like that it conveys how well-established we are in this space! We could add the descriptive bits in a paragraph or in some bullets that follows. |
I'm a big 👍 on that one |
Slightly different wording:
|
Another variation:

I like how fun Home of all things badges is. It definitely conveys a sense of humor. Though I think "things" and "badges" both being plural, it's a bit difficult to parse, and doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well. Yet another idea:
Might be my favorite yet. It's punchy, descriptive (yes, we are the kitchen-sink of badge services!), and very fun. |
I like it as well, however, I'm not used to seeing that word used as a verb, so it doesn't resonate with me as much. Idea somewhat like a brand slogan:
|
Wanted to mention that an improvement to the description was suggested in #7129:
|
Thinking about this, I feel like the text I suggested should at most be used as a long description for the website itself, or in larger embeds (summary?). For a simple tag-line could perhaps this be enough:
Shares the key features (free, open-source and well formatted badges), what formats are supported (SVG and raster format) and that you can use it pretty much everywhere. |
We describe Shields in different ways in different places:
Is there room for improvement or making things more consistent? Or are we happy with the current state of these headlines? Either way, I think there's value in having an informal discussion about how we communicate about what Shields is.
