Vocabulary:
SE - Scratch Event
SDS - Scratch Design Studio
SMP - Scratch Mentor Program

Suggestion:
So, we all know and love the SDSs planned by the SMP! We all recognize the cute little orange and white watermark in the thumbnails. So what about SE(s)? They don't have a watermark. Some people mistake SE(s) with SDSs, so why not add a cute little purple and white watermark?

Hi ! I am from Scratch Mentor Program. I don't know why it's not added but it's a good idea. Let me ask other mentors about it and seek their opinion. Thanks for sharing!

Great idea - just a correction: SDSs & SESs are planned by the SMP (Scratch Mentor Program), not the Youth Advisory Board. YAB helps with the development of Scratch.

Nice idea! Hope it will be used in the future SESs!

it's purple are you colorblind

Hello, I actually have this thing on my computer, “Colour Correction” so it makes it pop more.
Infact, I am NOT colour blind, but it was an error on my end. Please note that “Treat everyone with respect.” is a part of the Scratch Community Guidelines, you may not have read them.

We have been discussing this in the SMP Forum and I thought I should share the same feedback here.

Thoughts on this?
Good idea… but maybe its because they don't happen on a schedule etc.? Because SDSs are basically monthly and SEs don't? (guys horrible explanation sorry-)
Also some people don't know what SE/SES stands for

My thoughts are that some people don't know the difference between SESs and SDSs! Most do, but bringing attention to the difference and that it's an official Scratch studio could draw attention, especially to those who don't look at the curators and don't see Scratch Cat and/or ceebee, or missed the announcement. It could also let people know what SESs are. At the end of the day, it's all down to you guys!

One more suggestion, the more common abbreviation is SE(s) instead of SES(s) as its just called Scratch Event (without the studio part)

Ah, okay, I thought that because a member of the scratch team said, “Scratch Event Studios”

- By the way, this wasn't my idea; it was my friend's RSS feed, so I'm communicating this to him and asking for his reply. If you want, you could somehow communicate this directly with him. He would talk in this forum, but it says that he is not ready to post in the discussion forums yet.

Yep. It’s hidden and only accessible for SMP members. It’s listed on the Wiki here.
