Re: Mahout logo proposal (second refactoring)

I'm with Karl here --

looks nicer to me (more like a logotype, less like a picture).

it's more juicy and abstract.

Hi,

http://picasaweb.google.com/lukas.vlcek/Mahout/photo#5178454146860270354
is a Mahout logo proposal which I consider near-final version (#2.5)

I would like to hear your comments. I think was able to accomodate most of your comments - the figure of Mahout is bigger and is not that abstract and I put the beach balloon back. Also I was experimenting with mexican hat as well but I didn't like the result so it didn't make it into final proposal.

As for the MAHOUT type it is regular font called Impact (only in 80% of its

original height). This can be changed but I think that this kind of font

fits the logo very well. I think the font in previous version (proposal #2)

was Arial Black which look good as well. I already do have everything in
vectors (svg).

Regards,
Lukas

Personally, I like the vertical logo better than the horizontal one. The
icon is larger than the text and I favor that balance. Perhaps the
mahout on the elephant could be waving a hat like a rodeo cowboy<grin>.
That would mix metaphors a bit, but add some whimsy to the logo and make
the mahout stand out more. (Someone on the Hadoop list was looking for
"Hadoop wranglers" a while back, so the precedent has already been set).

Great initiative Lukas, keep it up!

hi,

i am new to mahout-dev.

shouldn't the mahout, the guy, be a bit more prominent? when this logo
is in thumbnail size he would be hardly visible.

 Oh, ok -- I'd think we should stick to the font face of Hadoop, so

that there is

 a clear visual link connecting the two. But maybe others have

different opinions

 about it.
