Project:Visual identity

This page defines a visual language that the MediaWiki community can use to refer to its various activities. It serves as a coordination and reference page to use a set of reusable, consistent and recognizable icons across mediums (wiki pages, blog posts, slides, etc.).

In order to have a consistent but expanding repository of graphics to pick from, it was decided to use icons from the Noun Project. Because some images require specific attribution, this page also serves as a list of credits. This allows us to use the  parameter to hijack the image's link (that would otherwise have led to the image credits). Icons can therefore be used to link to the activity they refer to; this navigation is more natural for many readers than landing on the image's description page.
