I must admit to not being a fan of Times Roman style fonts as used for the text ‘NetBeans.. It lacks a modern feel. Also, fine or thin fonts as used by the text ‘Apache’ can also be problematic on some displays. I’d thicken it up a bit. Just my opinion.

Hey Chris, Hey Antonio, sure, „Official“ could be the hard part here. But we have a logo from our Website refresh project last month. These should fit. I attached two versions: #Clean Clean logo with new spacing so that it looks more aligned #Seperation Line Same like „Clean“ but with a thin separation line between the logo and the logo names We used the „Montserrat“ as font for the NetBeans Branding. You can download it from Google Fonts.
