== What this call is about ==
== What this call is about ==
This open call invites proposals on two closely related topics:
This open call invites proposals for the '''graphic charter''' of WikiDeal, that is, its visual identity: logo, colours, typography, page layout and general visual style.
* the '''graphic charter''' of WikiDeal, that is, its visual identity: logo, colours, typography, page layout and general visual style;
 
* '''trademark proposals''': names, signs and visual elements that could identify WikiDeal.
Ideally, a single logo would be created, together with several slogans. Two slogans already exist: '''"a Wikipedia of e-commerce"''' and '''"Fair deals with nice people"'''. Proposals for new slogans are also part of this call. Logo and slogans together would form a global communication concept, aligned with the values, principles and vision of WikiDeal.


Ideally, two logos, or two declinations of the logo, would be created: one around '''"the Wikipedia of e-commerce"''' and one around '''"Fair deals with nice people"'''.
The call also covers the '''ergonomics''' of the WikiDeal site. Proposals in this area would distinguish three design zones:
* the wiki part;
* the funding part;
* the design of the marketplaces, in particular everything related to smartphone applications.


Visual Identity Guidelines for WikiDeal are under construction. This call aims at gathering proposals that could feed into a first simple version of the graphic charter. A good proposal shows concrete visual material (even simple sketches), explains the intent behind it, and remains usable across the wiki, the funding dashboard and printed material.

If you want to respond to this call, go to [[Talk:Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Graphic-Charter|the discussion page of this call]] and post your proposal there, including external links to documents hosted elsewhere if needed. You can also notify your participation by email to info@wikideal.net. Proposals are public: everyone can see what others have proposed. Rewards can be distributed across several contributors, based on an estimation of the impact and importance of each contribution. These calls are light and non administrative, in the spirit of micro calls for ideas: the rewards are intended to be distributed across several contributors who bring complementary ideas, comment on the proposals of others and help each other. The goal is several winners, not a cold competition with one winner and many losers.

Every proposal must include a full '''AI transparency disclosure''': state which AI tools, if any, were used to prepare the proposal, and how. The general rules of the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Call]] apply, in particular the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main#rules-of-the-game|rules of the game]], which apply to all three current open calls.

The call closes when a first simple version of the graphic charter is adopted by the delegates of the Ynternet.org Foundation. For the moment, the steering committee is composed of the WikiDeal founder ([[Gov/en/Portal:Meta/Licensing-and-Credits|see credits]]) and other committee members. It has not met yet; it intends to meet once the first donations have been received.
