Currently when you paste, for example, https://wordpress.org/download/ as a URL into the block editor, opengraph metadata is fetched in and shown when you click the link:

It appears the image being fetched is on this URL:

https://s.w.org/images/backgrounds/wordpress-bg-medblue.png

Presumably that same image is used across a variety of contexts. Let's update this. We can replace it with this:

or this:

The image is taken from <meta property="og:image" content=" https://s.w.org/images/backgrounds/wordpress-bg-medblue.png " />

I've added this image in WordPress/wordpress.org@ 31bbe7f .

All pages should use the new image, with the exception of the homepage, which uses this image:

Shares on twitter use a square format image, not the og:image (except the homepage, which uses the large format embed). If you want to update this too, reopen this issue with the new image.

Thank you for the updates, and thank you for the clarification on the square image. I've made a new one, can I kindly ask you to use this one instead?

 WordPress-1

And for the homepage, for the time being, I think we're better off also using the below one for that one:

 WordPress

If and when we get a chance to revisit parts of the homepage, we can reconsider having a dedicated one thumbnail just for that. But for now, we can keep it the same for it. Thank you.

@jasmussen I ended up grabbing the dotted image for the new default, not the plain one— do you want to remake the square image?

Do you mean like so?

The dotted version looks great!

Okay, I've updated the square image. I think twitter has the old embed cached, and they don't offer a way to clear that, but the meta on the site appears correct - so probably just need to wait that out.
