I can work on the logo.

For the color, perhaps it could be one that corresponds to a significant wavelength in cosmology, if anyone has a suggestion.

Some suggestions:

  • Lyman- $\alpha$ at $\lambda = 121.6$ nm,
  • Balmer break at $\lambda = 364.5$ nm,
  • Fraunhofer H-K lines at $\lambda \simeq 395$ nm,
  • CMB at $\lambda = 1.9$ mm,
  • hydrogen hyperfine structure at $\lambda = 21$ cm.

According to https://www.johndcook.com/wavelength_to_RGB.html, 395 nm corresponds to colour #8000a1, which is indeed purple.

I’m down with the 395 purple!

Edwin Hubble’s success depended on the purple H-K lines

I tried to implement this in #94, but I have no idea if it is going to work, I don’t know how to test this offline…

Some tips when testing webpage deployment:

  • make sure to clear your browser’s cache, the new website settings may not be updated in your browser,
  • look for error messages in Deploy Jekyll site to Pages, the green ✔️ shows there is no error on the last deploy,
  • search Discussions on just-the-docs for similar problems (they helped me with the Pages setup!)

Thanks! I am installing Jekyll locally (using rbenv to sidestep the outdated system ruby) for testing. Almost there…

Most of these are configurable by editing the _config.yml file https://github.com/a-cosmology-group/acg/blob/main/_config.yml

The parameters are described here https://just-the-docs.com/docs/configuration/

@sahil5d you are encouraged to try it!

@ftessier I uploaded the new logo to the Profile picture but the image needs to be square, see https://github.com/organizations/a-cosmology-group/settings/profile.

Perhaps extra top and bottom borders would work well?

Ok, I’ll update the images, increasing the vertical size from 231 pixels back to 256.

ftessierftessier, edited

Done, I pushed to main directly.

I update the organization image. Looks like it takes a little while to update the actual icon?

All good, it works, of course I had to shift-reload!

Do you see it as the logo on the web page? I still don’t…

ftessierftessier, edited

I do, reload while holding down the shift key, to bypass the cache. Let me know!
