Re: [DISCUSS] Re: FLOGOS! Plz review logos
Josh, Do you have an example of the "spray paint effect" from another logo, or similar? As far as background, I thought maybe a conglomeration of words in a repeating background. But with only partial transparency, because otherwise it'd be WAY too busy. https://www.123rf.com/clipart-vector/grammar.html?sti=nnv33o0rk9snbgnfws|=52613707 Those background(s) could be on alternating blocks (i.e. the white, or the grey/dark) so it's not too overwhelming. Another option could be gears or something like that: https://www.alamy.com/mechanical-seamless-vector-background-pattern-monochromatic-gray-image217739171.html Just some thoughts.

Hi Joshua, Great sketches! From a user perspective, I liked the #1 just because of it seems cool.

Re: FLOGOS! Plz review logos
Austin! Thanks so much for the input. #2 is my favorite, too. Flagon is user analysis for the masses. It's open source, scalable business analytics for some. It's usability analysis for others. And, its turning the web into a decision-sciences laboratory for others. We're trying to make user analysis open source and safe for all time. We're trying to up the game, too. Clickstream is dumb, we're about patterns of life and real behavioral science. Check out the website: http://flagon.incubator.apache.org/ As for what the logo has to do with anything about our project: Its all history, just like Apple's Apple, Microsoft's Window, and Google's Wheel. Our first UserALE (our logging service) developer was super into beer. So he named it User-ALE (Analytic Logging Engine). The alcohol reference became a thing for the dev team--we started naming all our apps after booze (ALE, Distill, TAP, STOUT). So, when we changed our name, the name really aligned with the history of the products (e.g., Flagon of ALE) more than the products' scope. So, our logos don't really have to have anything to do with our product, or a Flagon, they just have to be cool, fun, and energize people. If there are better ideas for something that aligns with behavioral logging, or actual Flagons (tough, I tried...), I'm all ears. But, we don't need to constrain ourselves, especially not at the cost of having fun and doing awesome things. I'd rather someone see something and ask, "whats that?" than see something completely obvious and have no motivation to explore. Our logo won't affect hits on Google, it will affect how much people spent time on our website or our booth at the next Apache con... Thoughts?

FLOGOS! Plz review logos
Hi Folks, I've been doing some sketches on Flagon logos. Probably we'll want a few for various things, but we need a primary logo to use on Twitter, website, etc., etc. I can't get them to go through unscathed through the dev lists. You can find them at this link: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLAGON/Flagon+Logos These are just sketches I made. I have someone (probably) who can finish them off, touch them up for us and make them web-ready. Of course, if someone from the community would like to do that, I'll take it! Just remember that the final will be copyright ASF. I call the first: FlagLorean. Was inspired by Back to the Future and the old ORION films logo (https://www.google.com/search?q=orion+pictures=1C1CHBF_enUS863US863=lnms=isch=X=0ahUKEwj-4srQlvXkAhWOdd8KHXWgCfYQ_AUIEygC=1368=770#imgrc=NOPjZ1AuCpmMMM:). I wanted a throwback. I imagine this would have a metallic finish with some color inlets (negotiable). I call the second: FlagonSaveTheQueen. It speaks for itself, but was inspired with by the Pistols and Norse runes. For both, I wanted something that we could crop up and use for a web extension icon, which would be recognizable.
