Attached is the current image just with the feather as a background (similar to lucene).
+ 1 on Vector Graphics (if someone has access/know how; would be interesting to see) +1 Agree on separating the text (or at least smoothing out the edges in the text) +1 have an option for transparency to use on top of different backgrounds; as it may not always be white... I think anything goes; the Apache move is also a marketing/branding opportunity so if folks come up with a nicer one, we'll use it. -----Original Message----- From: Coarr, Matt [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 20, 2012 8:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Inspiring logo? I like the logo with the vertical feather with the wings ("candidate 4"). I think it looks more professional. The other one with the snake wrapped around the stick looks more playful (almost childish, though maybe that's too strong of a word). The concept might work with a different rendering. Pei, you didn't attach an image to your 5:30pm email (your last email). What are you suggesting by including the Hama logo? Is there some aspect in particular that you wanted us to look at? I think the black text and the font from the Hama logo would make the "candidate 4" logo better - crisper, more consistent with some of the other apache projects, and more professional. That text would be similar to the text in the "Apache Software Foundation" title logo: http://www.apache.org/images/asf_logo_wide.gif Just my opinions... Matt
