Logo Updates — NGINX Product Documentation Landing Page

[travisamartin]

Description

Based on feedback provided by Joel Ertsgaard, update logos and icons on the NGINX Product Documentation landing page to reflect the approved F5 NGINX commercial assets.

Acceptance Criteria

• Replace N-Hex in the header with the F5 NGINX commercial logo.

• Replace N-Hex favicon with the F5 logo.
• Ensure logo consistency across doc sets.

Because of the mix of open source and enterprise documentation on docs.nginx.com, perhaps it is not appropriate to put an F5 logo at the top of the page. Edit: is this request for the new circular NGINX logo? If so, there are readability issues with that icon at most sizes. Using the F5 ball as a favicon is confusing.

There is already a prominent F5 logo in the footer of every page.

I worry about customer alienation with such a change. There is valuable goodwill attached to the NGINX brand built on the success of our open source offerings. Why is this change being proposed? What positive customer outcomes do we expect? What backlash do we expect?

The red logo and green highlights also clash quite badly.

@travisamartin because this is a theme change, I am going to move this back to the engineering backlog.

@mjang the XC docs mirror the XC platform; we'll need to see if the logo used in the product has changed.

@danielledeleo I understand and appreciate the concern regarding our open source user base. The logos have been updated to reinforce the difference between open source (NGINX hex) and commercial use; as this specific docs property focuses on the commercial use cases, use of the commercial logo and branding are appropriate in this context.

Closing. The logo and favicon updates are being handled by the docs engineering team.
