Is there an established protocol for substituting bitmap logos with HTML/CSS/WebFonts for CSS based text effects?
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around replacing bitmap logos with HTML/CSS/WebFonts for CSS-based text effects in the WebFont Discourse Logos. Muiran asks about an established protocol for substitution. cpradio suggests overriding the template via a plugin or using SVG logos. codinghorror notes that uploading SVG logos works, but may cause issues in HTML emails. cpradio clarifies that using SVG logos does not require a plugin, while a pure text solution would need one. Muiran considers SVG as an interim solution and wonders about potential downsides, which were not explored in the discussion.
If I were to approach this, I’d override the template that puts the logo via a plugin and put my text in there and then add accompanying CSS to apply whatever transformations/effects I’d want it to have.
Are you suggesting I create a plugin or that such a plugin exists?
I believe uploading .svg logos works just fine, though note that emails will be broken, as virtually no email client supports svg in HTML emails.
You’d have to create one if you went the route of pure text, if SVG does what you want, you could utilize that without a plugin.
Overriding a template is not difficult.
Interesting, SVG. Perhaps a useful interim solution while cobbling together a long term solution plugin.
Can you think of any downside to SVG, is there good reason it hasn’t been made use of before?
Sorry, didn’t see Jeff’s comment.
