That last sketch of a cuttlefish with a hat is really really good. I vote for that. On Fri, Nov 15, 2019 at 10:33 AM Kenneth Knowles wrote: > PSA: cuttlefish tentacles look more like their face, not their legs. > Please find attached illustrations to that effect. And also evidence that > they

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot

It's great we're having this discussion and we came up with a lot of great ideas through it. However, it is unclear how we proceed from here. Certainly, we can't let designers work with an open-ended discussion on the type of mascot. Personally, I'm fine with _any_ kind of mascot, as long as

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot

Hi everyone, so exciting to see this convo taking off! I loved Alex's firefly! -- it can have so many cool variations, and as a stuffed animal is very original. Other ideas I had are a caterpillar because it looks like a data pipeline, lol or the beaver! Feedback on the current sketches.

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot

Interesting topic :) I kind of liked also Alex's firefly. The impression it made on me. To drive it further, hands on hips make strong / serious pose, hovering in the air above all. I would put logo on the him, to become is torso / body or a dress. Logo with a big B on it almost looks like

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot

Same. What about 37 with the eyes from 52? +1 That would combine two ideas: (1) "Beam" eyes and (2) sea animal. We could set this as the working idea and build a logo based off that. On 12.11.19 22:41, Robert Bradshaw wrote: On Tue, Nov 12, 2019 at 1:29 PM Aizhamal Nurmamat kyzy wrote: 52

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot

Cuttlefish are cool, but I don't know how recognizable they are, and they don't scream "fast" or "stream-y" or "parallel processing" to me (not that that's a requirement...) I like that firefly, nice working the logo into the trailing beam of light. On Mon, Nov 11, 2019 at 5:03 PM Udi Meiri

I like that sketch! The designer has also sent me some rough sketches, I'll share these here when I get consent from the designer. -Max On 09.11.19 19:22, Alex Van Boxel wrote: +1 for a FireFly. Ok, I can't draw, but it's to make a point ;-) Fire2.jpg  _/ _/ Alex Van Boxel On Sat, Nov

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot

Agree with Aizhamal that it doesn't matter if they are taken if they are not too close in space to Beam: Apache projects, big data, log processing, stream processing. Not a legal opinion, but an aesthetic opinion. So I would keep Lemur as a possibility. Definitely nginx is far away from Beam so it

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot

Aww.. that Hoover beaver is cute. But then lemur is also "taken" [1] and the owl too [2]. Personally, I don't think it matters much which mascots are taken, as long as the project is not too close in the same space as Beam. Also, it's good to just get all ideas out. We should still consider

How about fireflies in the Beam light rays? ;) Feels like "Beam" would go well with an animal that has glowing bright eyes such as a lemur I love the lemur idea because it has almost orange eyes. Thanks for starting this Aizhamal! I've recently talked to a designer which is somewhat famous
