Ryan Skraba commented on AVRO-3554:
-----------------------------------
Hey -- this is all amazing work! I can see the A on the tail of the V10s -- it
gets a bonus bump :D I prefer without the block outline on the plane, so v10.2
and v9.2 but I like the block outline on the pigeon v6.1
Haha, I really don't see the blob or splatters as data-loss. It *does* feel
like the plane is disintegrating, but that's what Avro does! (Well,
temporarily).
I checked and the [PT Mono|https://www.paratype.com/fonts/pt/pt-mono/regular]
font is distributed under the SIL Open Font License (OFL1.1) and doesn't
require attribution [but it's a nice thing to
do|https://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=OFL-FAQ_web#e71fabc0].
I think it looks great!

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Ryan Skraba

> Priority: Major

> There was a quick discussion with Apache Trademarks along the lines "If it
> ever came to a legal challenge, would we care enough to defend our usage? If
> not, changing it discreetly and voluntarily is the best route."
> The result: we _must_ change our logo this year to some original art.
>
> Criteria for a new logo, as discussed on the mailing list:
> [https://lists.apache.org/thread/m5w7fmkjnrl8m4hlbw8xhzr4v69xg3ml]:
> Must:
> * be unique and not similar to anything “out there”
> * be available in a vector format (SVG) so it can be scaled with full
> accuracy
> Should:
> * show either something of the name (like Beam, Airflow, Ant, Drill) or what
> it does (like Mahout, Bookkeeper, Ratis, Pulsar)
> * have 2 variants: Square/Circle (social media, favicon, etc) and rectangle
> (top banner)
> Could:
> * have the banner logo be the compact logo with the name attached, or more
> elaborate
> Would:
> * have limited colors; at most 5-10 (so like Iceberg, not like Flex with the
> gradients)
>
> _To allow sufficient artistic freedom, we should limit new requirements.
> Instead, please add ideas in the comments._
