+We recently pushed out a new theme to the documentation sites for 
+[conda][conda] and [conda-build][conda-build]. This theme is also available
+for all conda related projects to use as a Sphinx theme (check out the 
+[conda-sphinx-theme][conda-sphinx-theme] project).
+
+<!-- truncate -->
+
+The theme we recently developed is derived from the [PyData Sphinx Theme][pydata-sphinx-theme],
+which is currently used by many projects in the Python ecosystem focusing on scientific computing
+and data science. The conda-sphinx-theme adds a couple customizations such as custom fonts
+and primary colors.
+
+Going forward, we hope this theme will be the default theme to choose when creating a new
+project under the [conda-incubator][conda-incubator] or [conda][conda-org] organizations in GitHub.
+It should be noted that this will never be a required choice. Ultimately, it is up to the project
+team to choose what is best for them.
+
+For any feature requests or bug reports regarding the new theme, please file them in the issues
+section of the [conda-sphinx-theme project on GitHub][conda-sphinx-theme].
+
+The theme itself is currently installable either by `pip install conda-sphinx-theme` or 
+by `conda install -c conda-forge conda-sphinx-theme`.
+
+We hope you all enjoy a better looking conda documentation experience!
