I've reached out to a design contributor to update our current logo in accordance with the branding policy requirements:
> ASF's trademarks are either words (e.g., "Apache" and "Apache ProjectName" > and "ProjectName") or graphic logos that are intended to serve as trademarks > for that ASF software. The ASF feather is also an ASF trademark for Apache > software which has special meaning for ASF and special rules regarding its > use. By adding "Apache" and trademark "TM" in the logo, we make sure it's more clear that OpenDAL is an Apache Project.
