Christophe Le Saec commented on AVRO-3554:
------------------------------------------
I'm not an expert on marketing and logo, but fun to participate :D
For *Stream* , why not a [design
salmon|https://www.svgrepo.com/svg/323927/salmon], may be with smile ... As it
follow rivers & streams, it's dynamic (for performance image), it's kind of
symbol for ecology.
I thought that pulsar logo was more about radio signal graph from star (or from
pulsar), like on the album of Joy Division.

> Key: AVRO-3554
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3554
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Ryan Skraba
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.12.0
>
> Attachments: OldAsmLogo.png, cuttlefish oscar 2.svg, cuttlefish
> oscar.svg
>
>
> 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._
