It seems we might need multiple votes: - One color or multiple colors?
- Thin font or thick font? - One font or two fonts? - Apache or not… What was Selva saying about engineers and votes?

See the two images attached. I sampled a couple apache project logs and found they do not have the word APACHE in their logos (e.g., HIVE, MONGODB, AVRO, SPARK). With this approach, it is possible to put the Trafodion logo into the "power by Apache" logo, see URL here <http://www.apache.org/foundation/press/kit/>, without the duplication of "Apache". It also simplifies the design and allows a good focus. Thanks --Qifan On Fri, Feb 12, 2016 at 7:19 AM, Rohit <[email protected]> wrote: -1 Check out the other logos I sent to the internal dlist.

We used to have an informal logo with another somewhat cursive font, it shows in one of the carousel pictures on the trafodion.apache.org site. That might be better (although still not my favorite).

The original is a vector graphics file that will scale up or down with no loss of quality, which I will make available when the debate has settled on something. I'll make a stab at changing the font and size relative to the dragon and post another version of that. Agree that separating the dragon from the name/font makes sense.

On the writing, cursive is hard to read, so I'm up for replacing it separately. Maybe we vote on each separately (as Sandhya and Amanda did)? Voting separately is a good idea. Having engineers vote on 'designs' is always a tough one. Sounds like folks like the dragon but not the cursive... so suggest splitting out what we vote on so at least the dragon carries.

Dave *From:* Ken Holt [mailto:[email protected]] *Sent:* Tuesday, February 9, 2016 9:48 AM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Logo Proposal Hi All, Apache Trafodion needs a logo. I believe there was some discussion about a logo for Trafodion quite some time ago, but we never really resolved it. In the very early days of Trafodion, before becoming an Apache project (incubating) I devised a logo that leveraged the Welsh connection of the project name, and that was a simple cute dragon. I now have a much improved version of that original logo and propose that we use this as the official Trafodion logo going forward. Dragon standalone - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9c1EkzsNnw4QmttYnBzZDdFSTQ/view?usp=sharing Trafodion name & dragon - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9c1EkzsNnw4Y3RRdVQwb0owSFU/view?usp=sharing I’m not thrilled with the font choice for “Trafodion” – the o’s and a’s look too similar. Thoughts? Should we vote on this?
