Hi Chris, all,
The situation with the logo is that there was a voting at [1] somewhere
in 2016, the most voted logo is not the one with colors, so using the
one you suggest (with colors) instead of the most voted one does not
seem to be very Apache compliant, as it would be against a voting result.
Also in late 2017 we opened an Apache NetBeans logo contest at [2],
which has not been closed yet. There has been a submission in early
february 2018 (i.e., a few days ago) from Junichi (see [3]), which is
also pretty cool, IMHO, and also deserves our consideration.
To end up the logo discussion once and for all I propose:
- Announcing closing the contest within a few days.
- Announce a voting in the mailing list, as per the Apache way.
I know this is probably lots of bureaucracy, but that's how things are
expected to work in this Apache world, AFAIK (and please correct me if
I'm wrong).
Kind regards,
Antonio

I would like to Change the logo to the SVG file, because it scales
better and we don’t have any Problems with Retina and whatever, as you
can see it here: http://netbeans.apache.org/. I added the SVG too.
Cheers
Chris
