+1 for making a "visual identity" as part of usual meeting.
But my take/advice on the visual identity would be to delegate or comission this art \
direction to Tyson Tan entirely (maybe to avoid the "too many cook" effect and keep a \
strong art direction, fresh 2021 and +).
Last ten years of Krita colors and fonts that inspired actual \
videos/website/KAforum/documentation/(logo!) finds all their origin (more or less) on \
Kiki's design (imo) and the impression left by documents like this 2014 tutorial \
https://tysontan.tumblr.com/post/91061435966/krita-free-painting-app-tutorial . It \
really was fresh in term of visual identity.
I would be curious to know if Tyson would build up on the legacy palette; or propose \
something new (eg. including recent green of 5.0 splash screen).

I was discussing with Ramon the need for three videos for the store pages, and he \
asked me to think about how we go about coordinating Krita's visual identity, not \
just for videos, but overall. In his words:<br> <br>
"It would be also interesting to look for music and define what typography and colors \
we are going to use. For videos about Krita 4, I was following the Web style more or \
less. But for Krita 5? We need to be coherent, in manual, web, videos, social media \
publishing. If we want funds, Krita must improve in that imo. But honestly talking \
about marketing would require more time. Maybe a video talk? what do you think? or a \
special meeting."<br> <br>
I don't think I should have this discussion between just me and Ramon, so we probably \
should talk about this in the meeting -- or have a separate meeting?<br> <br>
