Some changes to the AWX logo

Hey folks,

We noticed that the former AWX logo (the “AWX with wings”) bears a resemblance to symbols used by certain hate groups. I won’t share those symbols here, but the core AWX team has compared the AWX logo to them and decided to remove that logo and design a new one.

We’ve already removed the old AWX project logo, which was hosted here:
https://github.com/ansible/awx-logos

We don’t currently have a replacement. For now we’ve replaced the existing logo files with empty SVG’s here:
https://github.com/ansible/awx-logos/pull/5

We are working on a new logo to represent the AWX project and will post another update soon. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

can you create the forms for the ui in settings then, so we can easily upload our custom logos.

Yep, this is on our radar, and will be available as soon as we finish it up:

https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/8297

https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/8783

In the meantime, this functionality can be accomplished via the API, though it takes a little bit of extra work (adjust to your tooling of choice, here’s an example with curl):

~ echo -n “{"CUSTOM_LOGO": "data:image/png;base64,base64 logo.png | tr -d '\n' "}” | curl -k “https://awx.example.org/api/v2/settings/ui/” -X PATCH -H “Content-Type: application/json” --data-binary @-

Hey everyone,

I’m excited to report that we’ve got a new logo for AWX, and you can see it here:

https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/9203

As was the case before, the official source for the AWX project logo, branding assets, and our trademark guidelines can be found at: https://github.com/ansible/awx-logos

Thanks!
