Visual companions and possible replication ?

Wikimedia sound logo with elegant animated visual companion.

@KMpumlwana (WMF) and JMcRae-WMF: Some user shared with me that you lead the production of the visual companions (images, animations-videos) supporting the Wikimeda sound logo. Those visual companions are interesting and useful by themselves.

In particular, the idea of a visual companion to wikimedia audio files via animated, colorful sonograph videos opens new avenues for wikimedia podcasts and their branding. Also, is there a way to share or request the tools which generate those elegant and engaging sonographs from our audios? To whom within WMF's hierarchy could we praise and request that tool?

Such tool would be used by Wikimedia French chapter: 3 Wikimedians-in-residence plus 2 Wikimedia France's social web managers mentioned the need for such tool in a recent online meeting on communication campaigns, to visually enhance podcasts samples. If available, I'm pretty sure a generator of such visual companions would be used by many other podcast creators of the Wikimedian community. Yug (talk) 15:42, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Maybe it could be recreated with NodeJS's vue-audio-visual by aligning the bar-color's values with the number of bars = canv-width / (bar-width+bar-space). If not, this project could easily be forked to recreate it. Hugo en résidence (talk) 15:02, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
