 Description   

Current and traditional zabbix icon/logo is now associated with "russian swastika" and probably should be redisigned and changed.

Wikipedia: "As a pro-war symbol, the "Z" has been used by the Russian government as a propaganda tool, and by Russian civilians as a sign of support for the invasion. Outside Russia, the government of Czechia has classified the "Z" symbol as an equivalent to the swastika".

Example 1 "Anyone who publicly displays the "Z" symbol of the Russian armed forces used in the war against Ukraine must reckon with the consequences. "Z" is an ideological symbol, and those who use it happen to approve the war of aggression, law enforcement officials have explained."

Example 2: "the letter 'Z' is becoming a symbol of support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine"

Example 3: "the Z is first of all a symbol of war. Over the last weeks, it has become associated with the massive military force that has assaulted the neighboring country. It also bears a clear resemblance with a swastika."

The Zurich Versicherungen had the same problem and also changed their Logo some days ago.

Before any official solutions are in place, you may take advantage of the re-branding functionality in order to replace the "Z" logo with something else.

Is there a way to change favicon by re-branding functionality?
BRAND_LOGO did not change it.

Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2022 Apr 12 ]

I do not think favicon can be changed easily, only by a custom patch.

@pavel you might wish to take a look at the module https://github.com/BGmot/zabbix-module-peace.

Thank you!
On my system (zabbix 5.0.21) it failed to activate with following error:

AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Unparenthesized `a ? b : c ? d : e` is not supported. Use either `(a ? b : c) ? d : e` or `a ? b : (c ? d : e)` in /usr/share/zabbix/app/controllers/CControllerModuleUpdate.php on line 69'

but it seems unrelated to the module.

After I fix this favicon changed when I enable the module but restore to its original form on shift-reload the page. If I go to modules and enable it again it changes again, until shift-reload.

I tested with 5.0.22 (re-tested just now, and with latest 6.0 and 6.2) and works as expected. What method of installation did you use 1.a or 1.b? Can you compare what you have in Module.php with what I have in the repo?

Ouch.... Chrome and Safari do not change favicon -( Mozilla does. I was testing with Mozilla, sorry. Testing from MacOS, I am travelling and don't have anything else at the moment.

Comment by Evgeny Yurchenko [ 2022 Aug 06 ]

I know how to fix Chrome. Let's proceed with the discussion on GitHub to avoid spamming here.

The problem is not just the letter Z but also the colors white and red which are part of the symbol for Russian fascism (as promoted by A. Dugin in his manifesto)

After 6 months of Russian aggression with Z as its universal symbol, it seems to me that there should be an official solution. At least a temporary one.

BGmot your turn. =D We need a plugin to change red to yellow and white to blue. 

Comment by Evgeny Yurchenko [ 2022 Aug 24 ]

Не солидно, Саша, говна набрасывать. Не нужно - проходи мимо. Уверен Zabbix сам разберётся, что ему делать (или не делать).

Comment by Khatsayuk Alexander [ 2022 Aug 24 ]

Не, мне нормально, на самом деле, хотя я и согласен, что над больными грешно смеяться. Но ничего не могу с собой поделать.

Comment by Brian van Baekel [ 2022 Aug 24 ]

Nou! Ik als Nederlander vind het maar een triest onderwerp. Het is een fucking Z als de eerste letter van het product, en voorderest niets.

Stelletje kleuters, zeikend over een Z en niet in het engels communiceren.... jammer.

brian.baekel I'm sorry, you are totally right, we should't use the fucking agressor's language. I apologize to all of you, it's really shame on me.
