Regarding the Standard JS logo consistency in badges

[revelt]

Hi all,

The official JS Standard badge, in black and white,

is not very popular as far as I can see and many people use the sticker SVG instead:

I believe that is-there-a-readme-badge section should be supplemented with a hexagonal yellow sticker logo and it should be made the official badge.

Secondly, I believe that the badge is better to be floated to the top right corner of the README, so it takes less space. My favourite Markdown snippet for that is this:

<a href="https://standardjs.com" style="float: right; padding: 0 0 20px 20px;"><img src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/feross/standard/master/sticker.svg" alt="Standard JavaScript" width="100" align="right"></a>

It adds some margin and it even works on npm readme's. I personally chased npm and made them allow badge floating 😃

Now, according to the seminal book "The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding", the rule No.19, "The Law of Consistency" it would be a good idea to drop the black and white badge completely, and stick to a consistent branding — a yellow hexagonal badge everywhere: on badges, on real stickers, on the https://standardjs.com and everywhere else.

One logo and only one, used everywhere.

Please share your opinions.

I agree with this and think it's a wonderful idea. It's much more recognizable.

I'm still fond of the ol' black and white logo, but your reasoning makes a lot of sense :)

It might be best to open an issue/PR on feross/standard to get a bit more visibility and feedback.

The standardjs.com site will be updated automatically within a few minutes once the feross/standard README us updated.

I like it, though not everyone is going to want the big yellow logo at the top of their readme. Another thing I see is people using shields.io to denote standard code style. We should maybe add it to the badge section though? I wonder if putting the yellow hexagon into the standard badge would look cool too.

I personally like the black and white one very much ❤️
