Thank you to everyone working on this.
Basel is a beautiful person, who contributed in so many ways to sharing knowledge, not only in our community.
A banner (in rotation for a month? with a focused drive on one day coordinated w/ other activist groups?), and possibly a logo ribbon, would be most appropriate.

Also, remember: we have few days before we'll ask money again to all the English-speaking
countries.
How could we ask for money when we are not using the power that was bestowed
upon us by the very
same spirit, love and courage that is condemning Bassel to death?
Very well said.

FYI: User:Odder has now created [[m:Free Bassel https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Free_Bassel]], as a landing page to link from the banner.
If anyone would like to help with a design for the banner (I concede not everyone shares my taste for 10pt-black-on-white text), we would be able to move ahead. There is, so far, nothing but support.
Let's A/B test some of the images from the category of media of him on Commons. I like the photoset with his wife, but there are others that have been used on banners and pins before.
