Description

I'm looking at the tabs in my browser and the icon associated with each does not tell me a lot about what is in the tab, due to icons which are not very detailed.

It would be useful to have on OSGeo-Forum logo (for Discourse), an OSGeo-Wiki logo (for MediaWiki) and an OSGeo-git logo (for Gitea). Possily also an OSGeo-Chat logo (for the Matrix web client).

The tabs in this screenshot are for: git.osgeo.org, discourse.osgeo.org, wiki.osgeo.org:

Note how the first one cannot be distinguished from the one you get from https://about.gitea.com/

A logo for OSGeo-Bugs (Trac) would also be nice, as right now we get this:

trac tab

Yes a change would be nice.

I allways have to guess which one is which if all the tabs here: Discourse, WebPage, Wiki, foss4g, ldap create, except for Gitea. ( please don't change that one)

All tabs the same

Because of the guessing I have to click on each tab to arrive to what I am looking for.

The palette defined on page 9 & 10 in this document is limited.

The icon is super small, say for example trac

  • keep the logo as it is or
  • kinda wrap the logo of trac for example inside the logo of OSGeo similar to this but keeping the trac colors
  • Using the OSGeo logo .... I would accept if some one guesses correctly what are the tabs on the screenshot
