The Autodesk Marketing team has developed a new visual identity for the Autodesk Labs site. The first step of moving to this new identity will be the changing of the web site banners. The original display of the Labs banners was a three step process.

1. A background image is displayed. Here is an example for the Subassembly Composer for AutoCAD Civil 3D.
   

2. A green polygon is overlaid on top of the background image.
   

3. Two text strings are displayed on top on the green polygon.
   
   

4. The end result is:
   

The new process will be simpler. Instead of using JavaScript to display the banner image in three parts, we will just use a simple image.

The specification for this image that I got from our Marketing team is:

When designing our new look, our Marketing Team had names like Project Galileo in mind.

Some of the technology previews are possible future features of our existing applications. These have longer names. I will be getting the Marketing team's expert advice on how to handle the longer names. I have created a page where you can see them all in one place. What do you think of the overlap on to the underlying technology preview specific portion of the banner image? Let us know what you think at thelabs@autodesk.com.

Snazziness is alive in the lab.
