The-turing-way: Design an "I want to contribute!" badge for the readme

[sgibson91]

Summary

I found this "I want to contribute!" button on the BinderHub readme. It links to the contributing guidelines and I think it's a cool way of directing people to the relevant information to getting started.

What needs to be done?

• [ ] Design a _Turing Way_ version

Who can help?

• Anyone

A quick creation 😄

Things to decide on:

• Label (currently it says TuringWay)
• Color (currently green; I suggest blueviolet so it matches with the newsletter badge, which also is Turing Way specific out of the badges and provides some consistency)
• Link (currently https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)

Possible colors:

This looks fantastic, thank you! 🎉🙏🏻 I think we'll be getting a logo/favicon made up soon which would look great on this!

[erictleung]

@sgibson91 great! Once the logo is created, we can follow these instructions to add it to the badge.

Hi @erictleung 👋 We now have a logo! Actually three versions! They're available in this Zenodo repo: https://zenodo.org/record/3695300#.Xmd4LZP7TOQ

I think we should go with LogoNoDetailNoText.jpg since this will be really small 😄

I also agree with blueviolet colouring to match our newsletter badge!

@sgibson91 great!

So I've tried taking the LogoNoDetailNoText.jpg file and went through the steps to convert it. But I'm having troubles getting it to work.

As you suggested, the badge will be small. So I've had to do a lot of hacky ways of resizing the image and compressing it to no avail.

Whoever made these, is it possible to create a smaller version? I think these could be nice examples to go off of https://github.com/badges/shields/tree/master/logo. I think a logo of around 40x40 px would be best.

I saw on Zenodo that there is a zip file with SVG files. I thought I could take that and just resize it, but I don't think my graphics skills are good enough to do that.

Hope that all makes sense. If that is too much work, I can always go ahead and create the badge without a logo for now.

Hi @erictleung! Thank you for working on this!

I used https://favicon.io/favicon-converter to convert the image into a bunch of different smaller versions. Would you mind experimenting with them to see which works well?! I think the favicon-32x32 should be good although its very small, so maybe the apple-touch-icon would be better? I've attached the others zipped together in case you want to play around 👾

favicon-32x32 👉
apple-touch-icon 👉

all the favicons zipped together 👉 favicon_io.zip

@KirstieJane thanks! That helped a lot.
