I changed the "The Apache" font to one very similar to the "Jakarta

Does anybody know what the font in the original logo is? It is a common
font that I am familiar with, but I can't remember the name...
I was going to comment that this looked like a sign that the logo should
be maintained as svg, so there'd be a record of what the font was; but
since this is a do-ocracy, I just edited up the logo as svg (attached).
Cool! :-D
The font I used was tahoma - not as nice as the original logo font
(which the graphic designer who sits behind me couldnt identify either)
- identifont thinks its ITC Officina Sans (

) - pretty good match! but I don't have a copy.
The SVG is just a hack on top of the sample that comes with Batik, I
changed the size, flipped the feather and added some text.
Ok, some feedback, summing up previous feedback from others:
- use tahoma bold also for "The Apache"
- remove the shadow on the feather
- change the font of the url to match the one on the www.apache.org logo
Anyway, svg is way cool! :-)
