I agree 100%, Pierre.

The name of our project is "Apache OFBiz". Our project is supported by ASF
and it's right to acknowledge that. But our project is the result of our own
work and builds on a large number of open source components, many of which
are not ASF projects.

It is plain misleading to say OFBiz is "powered by Apache", and it
diminishes the scope and intent of what we're doing. The implication is
we're some sort of subsidiary. The logo doesn't even have the correct name
for our project.

The visual style is all wrong. Our project should not be enclosed and
engulfed by Apache. It should be *supported* by Apache. Our project should
have clear top billing. I have no problem with Apache getting a mention in
the logo if the implication is more "supported by".

It's disappointing the ASF are encouraging us to use this logo. As Pierre
says, it's flawed. I think we should ignore it.

Cheers

Paul Foxworthy
