Beyond that there are some general Guidelines established by the Apache Public Relations Committee... + === Look and Feel Guidelines === - * ? Max Size ? - * ? Min Size ? - * ? Perfered Format ? - Supporting "branding" images (ie: favicon, small version, large version, black and white version, etc...) are not necessary, but may be included and considered as a factor by the community when voting. + * 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 Apache Solr 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: Apache Solr /!\ :TODO: /!\ ''''Is this strictly true? several current Apache logo's don't have this.'''' + * 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.
