Hi all, Here are four ideas for the new Ant logo. We'd appreciate any comments to help refine some of the ideas presented (see below).

We also have as perspective shape in the background showing us that although relatively new, ant is based on strong foundations (ant has come forward by looking at and using knowledge gained in from experience in 'the past'.) > > logo 2 - Circle ant. > The circle represents unity. The ant walks outside the circle but also inside. This suggests that ant, although open source, is based upon structure and clarity - the circle. > > logo 3 - No ant. > The three symmetrical shapes flow upward to form 'ant' They represent, XML, pure java and open source. It's symbiosis here, the whole (ant) is worth more than the sum of these individual parts! Again, we see structure and foundation elements in this logotype. We also see symmetry, which builds composition - ant is, I believe trying to make a standard of some kind? > > logo 4 - Atari ant. > Ant on top of symbiosis above - but part of the structure as well. This is working on many of the concepts above (logo 3 - no Ant), but also shows ant as embed in the process of obtaining higher values. Working towards that globaly adopted standard. > > That's it. > > If you get a good response back I can go to town on a preferred choice! > > Regards > > J > > > > <<logo4.gif>> <<logo3.gif>> <<logo2.gif>> <<logo1.gif>>
