two more that I drew over the holidays: http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-12.png (in context: http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/screenshot-12.png)
http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-13.png (in context: http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/screenshot-13.png) I really would like some contributions from the community rather than just things that I have sketched... At present, to my mind, the ones worth consideration are: http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-3a.png http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-5.png http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-7b.png http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-9.png (note would need to check if we can use this one) http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-12.png http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-13.png In terms of image rights, these are all sketched by me, in some cases I was using images or photos that I took myself (3a , 5 and 13). In other cases I traced photos from the web. -9 is the most problematic, both from the point of an all black silhouette being used as a logo for another company using the Maven mark (but not in our context... we'd need to ask permission) but also being a direct trace of an image on the web... if people really like -9 then we would need to seek permission for that type of image and perhaps try and commission somebody to draw a similar silhouette rather than my direct trace. -12 is a composition including a direct trace of the outline of a photo of the totem carving of the raven, but the inner detail I drew myself as a study of the original... so slightly more complex origin... again, if this type of look is popular we can look into getting the approval to use the image. If we can get a few community contributions then I will start a vote run-off... I don't want to have a run-off with only my contributions as I just don't think that is the spirit of the community that we are (but hey if nobody else is willing to try their hand, perhaps we will be reduced to a run-off of my creations) On 21 December 2013 12:25, Stephen Connolly <stephen.alan.conno...@gmail.com > wrote: > Having thought about it overnight... if people really want to go with a > non-stylised raven we can always ask for permission: > > http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-9.png > > OTOH here is a different stylised version > > http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-10.png > > Finally, here is a raven totem > > http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-11.png > > I think this last one could be put in a forest with sky background... just > haven't had time to do it > > > On 20 December 2013 22:26, Stephen Connolly < > stephen.alan.conno...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I think we can't go with the raven.... >> >> http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/3/prweb9334175.htm >> >> Given that a different non-competing user of the name is using a raven in >> their logo >> >> On Friday, 20 December 2013, Manfred Moser wrote: >> >>> > >>> > On Dec 20, 2013, at 1:01 PM, Manfred Moser <manf...@simpligility.com> >>> > wrote: >>> > >>> >> I would move the Raven closer to the word Maven but otherwise this >>> looks >>> >> good imho.
