Danielle Navarro updated ARROW-15684:
-------------------------------------
Description:
The Apache Arrow logo is not currently documented on the website, and we don't
have guidelines about how (or when) people in the community can use adapt it.
Now that Arrow is a mature project it would be useful to include this
documentation on the site, and to make it easy for people to download
"officially supported" versions of the Apache Arrow logo for inclusion in slide
decks, websites, etc.
As a related matter, the website currently uses a less-than-ideal image as the
social media preview file. There are two limitations: (1) because it uses black
text against a transparent background it isn't readable for twitter users with
dark mode set (it just looks all black), and (2) it doesn't have wide enough
borders, and parts of the logo get cropped out by twitter previews.
To help improve all this, I've put together a concrete proposal in a PR that:
* Documents the visual design of the Apache Arrow logo
* Generates multiple versions of the logo suitable for different contexts
* Provides some guidelines for usage that hopefully aren't too restrictive
* Adds this as a "visual identity" page to the website, and
* Switches the social preview image to one that works on twitter
The pull request itself is here:
[https://github.com/apache/arrow-site/pull/194]
If you want a quick preview of what the page would look like on the website
it's more or less identical to the README in this repo:
[https://github.com/djnavarro/arrow-visual-identity]
(As an aside, this is my first time opening an issue on Jira. My apologies if I
have done some part of this incorrectly)
