Oscar Westra van Holthe - Kind updated AVRO-3554:
-------------------------------------------------
Description:
There was a quick discussion with Apache Trademarks along the lines "If it ever
came to a legal challenge, would we care enough to defend our usage? If not,
changing it discreetly and voluntarily is the best route."
The result: we _must_ change our logo this year to some original art.
Criteria for a new logo, as discussed on the mailing list:
[https://lists.apache.org/thread/m5w7fmkjnrl8m4hlbw8xhzr4v69xg3ml]:
Must:
* be unique and not similar to anything “out there”
* be available in a vector format (SVG) so it can be scaled with full accuracy
Should:
* show either something of the name (like Beam, Airflow, Ant, Drill) or what
it does (like Mahout, Bookkeeper, Ratis, Pulsar)
* have 2 variants: Square/Circle (social media, favicon, etc) and rectangle
(top banner)
Could:
* have the banner logo be the compact logo with the name attached, or more
elaborate
Would:
* have limited colors; at most 5-10 (so like Iceberg, not like Flex with the
gradients)
_To allow sufficient artistic freedom, we should limit new requirements.
Instead, please add ideas in the comments._
