merit badge for contributors

[mozfreddyb]

Goal:

I want a design for a sticker that we can use as some sort of merit badge for people contributing to the security of Firefox (specifically the Firefox product).
This is meant to be a reward for people going out of their way to help the security team.

Info:

Stickers to be placed on laptops :)

Style Information:

It might be interesting exploring something along the lines of a mission patch, maybe even something that can be modified into various levels (like bronze/silver/gold).
This will be a tough balance to strike, but I also would like it not to look military.

Deadline:

Would be nice to have it in Q2

Hey @mozfreddyb do you still need this? Let me know, i'll be happy to take this up!

Hey @ruchikabgosain, since you're willing to work on this, can you work on something generic - can be used for other teams as well?

Three Levels: Newbie, Master, Sensei? 👀
what do you think?

@kindavishal any inputs?

Yes @ruchikabgosain, I'd still love to give out stickers as recognition. Would be great if you found something that allows being themed in various levels (bronze / silver / gold). Maybe the tagline "Defender Of The Fox" could be funny / inspirational? You decide :-)

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

[grlwholifts]

@mozfreddyb surely! let me get back to you with a rough sketch!

Heyyy! Sorry for the super delayed reply!
Three level sounds good to me! If we are talking about generics, what teams are we considering?

[grlwholifts]

@kindavishal great then! i ll be considering 3 levels. Also, @mozfreddyb can you confirm to @kindavishal what groups are we talking about?

[mozfreddyb]

So, this badge is supposed to be "awarded" to everyone who contributes to the security of Firefox products. This could be finding a problem, fixing a security bug, etc.

If we (the Firefox security team) had three variants of the award badge, we could hand out stickers with bronze badges to a lot of people and get them interested in helping us more ;-) Silver badges are for great continuous contributions and so on.

Does that answer your question?

[kindavishal]

That is a nice idea, I really like it. Also, may I suggest to make them pins instead of badges?

[mozfreddyb]

To clarify, they should be stickers but they should look like badges. I want them to be stickers, because they have a high level of exposure and visibility (size, laptops are present at every meeting, etc.) and relatively cheap.

[kindavishal]

Okkk! Got it!
@pransh15 @ruchikabgosain I think we now have a clear idea what is needed here! What say?

[pransh15]

Sure, I think it's pretty clear.
Can you both take this one forward?

[likeanushkaa]

Is this issue still open?

[mozfreddyb]

Sure, nobody ever designed a sticker here.
Please read through the full thread and once you have a draft, please create a new pull request with your suggestion for review & design iteration. Feel free to tag me for review, not sure who else in this thread is still actively participating in open design. :)

Hello,

I designed 3 badges: Bronze, Silver, Gold. I'm not sure if you need more complex designs.
I would love to hear your opinion @mozfreddyb

[mikekellyonline]

Have these designs been approved? Also, are they being used? If not, I would be interested in creating more designs.
