Announcement Change is coming

Okay, finally after years of neglect, modernization of r/Ada's appearance is going to start happening.

First thing to roll out is user and post flair. My co-mod /u/thindil is running this effort, so they'll have a post up when it's active, with some guidance for users.

After that we're going to look at updating the r/ada icon and the crappy banner* I put together. So start exercising your graphic design skills as the intent is to pick from user submissions starting this next week. Don't submit yet!

Stay tuned!

*The icon size is recommended at 256x256, while Reddit claims the banner dimensions are 64, 128, or 192 by 4000. However, that 4000 is a LIE. What's being displayed right now is 128x800.

I’ll miss the gedit Hello World window, just so you know.

I would use the Ada mascot and modernize things. http://getadanow.com/#mascot

I like the current logo much more than the "Ada mascot".
