Not hardcoding bibliography item font sizes #5

Consider the following example:

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\usetheme{moloch}

\begin{document}
  \begin{frame}
    Normal Text \fullcite{knuth:ct}\footfullcite{knuth:ct}\footnote{Normal Footnote Size}

    \Tiny Normal Text \fullcite{knuth:ct}
  \end{frame}
\end{document}

document-1

In default beamer themes, the font size of the citation can adapt to the surrounding context, e.g. to the size of footnotes or text around it.

document-1


One could avoid the problem by not hard coding the size of the bibliography items:

\setbeamerfont{bibliography entry author}{size=\normalsize, series=\normalfont}
\setbeamerfont{bibliography entry title}{size=\normalsize, series=\bfseries}
\setbeamerfont{bibliography entry location}{size=\normalsize, series=\normalfont}

At least for the ones with \normalsize, the hard coded sizes don't seem to have a lot of advantages, as they are normally uses in normal size anyway, but cause problems like the ones mentioned above.

Thanks @samcarter! I ended up removing the bibliography entry customization altogether.

Completely unrelated: for an upcoming talk about beamer, I made a graphic in a similar font style as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Metropolis_(German_three-sheet_poster).jpg . I thought maybe you'd like to have it as well:

That's really very nice, thanks! Do you mind if I use this as the official logo for the package (with proper attribution of course)?
