Receiving all the amazing contributions to our request for a Utopian mascot inspired us to reach out to our talented community of designers with another important task.

Thanks for the opportunity!
This means a PO can ask for banners!!!!
@stoodkev
This is more a set of graphic elements than just banners
Then the mod should say: "you can ask for a set containing banners". Instead of "we don't accept banners", mods should help to do things well next time for the good of the project and the community.
I think that happened to mitigate certain abuses but as long as there is a TR and it is substantial, I think mods shouldn't have an issue.
I agree with you @elear
by TR you mean made in utopian? or the PO can ask directly to a designer too?
Wow, i will try it. Thanks @utopian.tasks

I am trying to post an article on Utopian.io, but I can't login. Clicking the login button just shows a youtube video. So, my question is, how can I login there?
Hey @hmushtag while our frontend is down for enhancement you can use other frontends to contribute. Read all the details here https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@utopian-io/utopian-now-contributions-are-welcome
Could I use inkscape and gimp rather than illustrator and photoshop?
I think so @mracalf but you may want to ask one of our Moderators in Discord https://discord.gg/h52nFrV

hey!!
Utopian team admits that Discord is the beast way to communicate, so why in other tasks the PO/designer communication is discouraged to be on Discord. If it is public channel so it is accepted?
I have a public discord server for my project and I am planing to open TR for designers; for me is much better to talk on discord because I hope to receive several contributions and working with 'issues' in github could be chaotic. I hope this is reconsidered and Discord communication is accepted for all, not just utopian tasks.
I am not mad or anything, I just want it to be fair for all.
And about the task itself, cheers! It is a good oportunity for us to make utopian look beautiful :)
