Hi Florian,

sounds cool!
I'd like to avoid using images with proprietary licenses in the documentation 
so that the documentation itself remains Apache licensed. You can have a look 
at Google Font Icons, which include a large set of icons and are Apache 
licensed (although not as extensive as other sources). Several creative commons 
licenses are also fine (see [1], unmodified media section).
Many icons we use for pipeline elements are currently self-made. What kind of 
illustrations do you need?

Cheers
Dominik

Subject: Icons for documentation and illustrations

Hi all,

I am working on some documentation. Therefore I create some illustrations in 
SVG format.
I think SVGs are much better for resolution  scale and with inkscape exists an 
open source tool to create them. The output still can be an image.

Now my question. In my illustrations I prefer to use predesigned icons.
Therefore I use freepik [1] or flaticon [2] if free available. If I use them I 
have to cite the source. 

How do you create illustrations e.g. for pipeline elements?
Is there another source for Apache projects?
On the other hand I am thinking about to get a premium access.

Greetings
Florian
