= About Us =
The Fedora Design Team is Fedora's in-house design agency. We provide artwork, user experience, usability, and general design services to the Fedora project.
Our current team goals:
* '''Template and Automate''' - Generate templates, standards, and automation where possible for more efficient and consistent artwork production.
* '''Increased focus on UX/usability''' - Increase the amount of UX and usability work we provide to the Fedora project through both more efficient usage of current designer time and also better recruitment of UX/usability team members and better documentation of UX/usability tasks and processes.
* '''FLOSS Creative Tool Education & Outreach''' - Continue to use the very same free and open source creative tools available in Fedora to design for Fedora, and increase and improve knowledge sharing with the general FLOSS community.
* '''Clear Priorities''' - Strive to be more selective about our focus as a team and set clear priorities so the things that are most important to Fedora are done in a timely and organized manner.

=== Fedora Badge Creation ===
[http://badges.fedoraproject.org Fedora Badges] is a fun website built to recognize contributors to the Fedora Project.  The Fedora Design Team designs and create the badge icons visible on contributors' profiles.  Examples:
