Can someone please publish this to the most appropriate place? Thanks.
Apache Project Logo Contest Guidelines
Look and Feel Guidelines:
- Submissions must include a usable web version (PNG
preferred) and
a scalable vector, print quality version of the logo
- The logo will be used to promote the specific Apache
project for
which it is created and should evoke the overall Apache Software
Foundation
brand [community-centric open source development, delivering the
highest
quality, standards compliant software]
- The logo must incorporate the full project name, such as
Apache
Tomcat or Apache Geronimo
- The logo should not incorporate images that are exclusively
specific to Native American culture. However, symbols that have
broad or
multiple meanings are acceptable in evoking a Native American
theme. Thus, a
feather, which has many possible applications, would be
appropriate, but a
headdress would not be. - The logo should not incorporate
any overt cultural or religious
symbolism
- The logo may incorporate other imagery, abstract symbols
or a
catchphrase, so long as the full project name is included somewhere
in the
logo. To this extent, the full project name can be displayed in a
smaller
font size than the main image, if there exists a main image
- The logo must reflect the values of the community
- The logo must adapt well to electronic and print media, to
reproduction on small surfaces, and to use in color or in grayscale.
- For tips on creating logos suitable for print media,
please review this or any other web guides you might find helpful:
http://www.sorrentomesa.com/education/techtips.html
- If the logo incorporates non-standards fonts, you must
be able to
provide us with the font should your logo be selected
Process & Legal Guidelines:
- Acknowledgement to the winning entry will be provided on
the
appropriate project web site at http://
[insertprojectname].apache.org - The Apache Software
Foundation reserves the right to select no
winning entry, if it deems that the submissions do not meet the
needs of the
organization
- If the Logo is selected, the contributor must assign all
rights to
the selected images to the Apache Software Foundation
- Logo must be free of any copyright or any other
intellectual
property claims
- Logo must not incorporate or extend existing trademarks
of other
companies
We recommend that every project post information relating to the
submission,
selection, and approval process:
- Submissions will accepted by [wiki, email, upload to
XYZ] until
October 31, 2005
- The final decision will be made by the Apache Geronimo
PMC [and
the Apache Public Relations Committee]. Input from the community
will be
welcomed in the form of wiki discussions.
