Currently, I’m mostly responsible for OSGeoIE on Twitter.
Responding to [1] and [2] here - is there a ‘how to’ guide to create social media icons for local chapters? I am rather clueless around image editing/manipulation/etc. Apologies if I have missed links.
The OSGeo IE Chapter does have an example of a larger branding logo in [2].
There isn’t such ‘image editing’ guide in our new branding guidelines, however the process to create your own twitter avatar is rather simple:
Open page 36 of the PDF style guide in Inkscape or Illustrator
Select the desired objects and paste it to a new document
Edit the text layer according to your need
Export it as a 400x400 pixels PNG image
Please find the resulting image attached. It should fit to twitter recommended
dimensions so you can use it directly.
For your twitter profile background image, please consider the resources
available at https://unsplash.com/search/photos/drone, as indicated by
the styleguide (page 13). You may still have to crop the selected picture to
a 1500x500 pixel JPEG to get the perfect header

There are some social media templates around so you do not have to cut and paste from the PDF. In addition to the round one you have attached there is a square social media avatar for one of the other platforms (Facebook, Twitter,LinkedIn).

Maybe it looks better with white background and dark letters.
