Good Morning everybody! I just tore an (unofficial, because I do not want to steal Erik's honour ;-)) Snapshot of our Logo Vote (5 to 11 middle European time).
Here are the TOP 5 (if I counted correctly): 1. (370 votes) Number 33 - the very nice "built by" Icon 2. (306 votes) Number 45 - Adams Square modern Logo 3. (251 votes) Number 14 - The round logo by Justin from Rubus 4. (182 votes) Number 02 - The comic Ant I submitted a long time ago :-) 5. (177 votes) Number 43 - Ant carrying the Apache feather First of all let me tell you, that I am really PROUD, that one of my logo-proposals made it to the top 5 and received so many votes. Thanks to all voters! BTW: I swear, that I neither gave a single vote for one of my logos, nor tell anyone to support my logos, because I am a big supporter of one of the other logos :-). Anyways: Let me tell you, which one is my favourite! I strongly +1 and support Logo 45 (even if it just land on the second place) due to the following reasons: 1. It has copies in a brilliant way the style of the Tomcat Icon - that fits, because IMHO Tomcat and Ant are the most successful Jakarta-Project (this does not imply that other Jakarta-Projects aren't successful ;-)) 2. Adam supplied us with a Vector-Graphic of the logo. This enables us to use the logo in ANY size we want in the same GREAT quality (ever tried to scale a bitmap to a bigger size ;-) - converted to a gif/png, of course :-) 3. It's basic shape is Square and this fits for many cases: The Tree Nodes in NetBeans (hi Mr. Glick ;-)), other IDEs, Icons on desktops, About Dialogs (like in Antidote), and many more purposes I can't think of ATM. 4. A "built by" Icon can be created VERY easily! 5. I'd love to see an "OFFICIAL" ;-) Ant T-shirt with the Jakarta banner small in the front on the breast and this Logo AS BIG AS POSSIBLE on the back! Hey: This could become a new Jakarta-fashion trend ;-) Annotation: Adam supplied us with an Adobe Illustrator. I've already created a Macromedia Freehand file, and, If we decide for that logo, I want to create an SVG with/for Batik. Additionally I've got a question: Who has the copyright for the submitted logos/the official logo? Is it automatically under Apache Software License? I'd not -1 one of the other Icon's. I'm just glad, that logo 8 didn't made it to the top 5 ;-). Ok, that's all for my first shot.
