Joseph Witt commented on NIFIREG-2:
-----------------------------------
hey rob thanks for going after this and for sharing your thoughts behind it.
It looks nice and I am overall favorable to it. Some initial thoughts I had:
- I'd like to see some connection to the nifi/minifi theming. Whether that is
via color or inclusion of some 'flow/water/fluid' like visuals is ok.
- the registry concept while it is a standalone app it is entirely centered
around providing central storage of nifi/minifi specific artifacts such as
extensions, flows, and variables. If there was some way to capture that ...
With the registry we're not talking about the flow so much as we're talking
about what controls/defines the flow so perhaps pipes in the shape of an R?
Anyway all that said my brain totally does not afford the same awesomeness
yours does when it comes to visualizing concepts. I definitely defer to your
thoughts on this just wanted to share some of my old school nifi thinking.

> Key: NIFIREG-2
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFIREG-2
> Project: NiFi Registry
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Rob Moran
> Assignee: Rob Moran
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: registry-logo-concept.png

>
> The attached image contains variations of the proposed logo design for
> Registry. The points below describe some of the thinking behind it:
> * Relationship to NiFi and MiNiFi through the use of the same typeface and
> use of blocks representing bits of data
> * For Registry these blocks also represent the storage/organization aspect
> through their even distribution and arrangement
> * The 3 gradated blocks across the top – forming the terminal part of a
> lowercase *r* – represent movement (e.g., a versioned flow being saved to
> NiFi or imported to NiFi from the registry)
> * The solid gray (in color versions) and outlined block (in one-color
> versions) help with idea of storage as previously mentioned, but also allude
> to unused storage/free space
> * The gray block also helps establish the strong diagonal slicing through it
> and the lowest green block. Again this helps with the idea of movement, but
> more so speaks to how Registry operates in the background, tucked away,
> largely unseen by NiFi operators
> * A departure from the NiFi color palette signifies how Registry functions
> more as a standalone application
