Hi, Gunnar,

Is it possible to put the logo as attachment? If they are not too big. I saw 
QiFan once has an attachment of a logo in one of his post. Some people cannot 
access Google drive .

Thanks,
Ming

Hi,

Based on the input from several people in this thread, I'd like to propose the 
following draft as a candidate: 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxlwNhWxn8iTQV85eDlyc0RxWGc

I'm hoping that Ken, Sandhya, or someone else can make a real version for 
consideration rather than my PowerPoint hack. It needs a bit of work on the 
gray hue (s;lightly darker IMO), size of dragon, and alignment but that's 
better done in a real designer program. The font was downloaded from Google 
Fonts: Telex Regular.

As mentioned, the draft fits into the overall website well: 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxlwNhWxn8iTczNMLTRjYUVXSkE and I'm sure 
it'll meet the other criteria, too.

Thanks,

Gunnar

I don't think we're quite converged and ready for a real vote, and to be 
honest, I hate to call for a 3 day vote on this over a long weekend in the US 
and at the end of a holiday week in China since that's where most of our 
traffic comes from.

Further discussion over the weekend and final vote on Tuesday?

Having Apache in our logo, brings a lot of credibility and shows we are serious.
Let’s also keep in mind that the logo/text should look good on the website, 
presentation slides and any brochures if you will.
Certainly we need multiple colors to bring attention to the product name.

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? ☺

It depends on how much value you think Apache adds to Trafodion, as compared to

I wonder if we could also consider a mod to option 4 where only the dragon and 
the word trafodion are present. 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.

+1 for Dave’s and Hans’ suggestion.  Like the dragon to sit on the right, not 
on top of Trafodion.  But the font in #4 looks more professional (perhaps also 
in lower case).

Hi,

I like the font for option 4 (perhaps lower cased as Hans mentioned), but with 
the placement of option 6.

That said, either one is fine.

Seems like the dragon logo itself is a winner - most everyone liked that.
But the combined logo and name was definitely not popular.

Here are a couple of new suggestions for the combined logo and name.

Option 4

Option 6

Don't ask for options 1-3, & 5 - they didn't make it passed my limited field 
testing!
Comments on 4 & 6?

Cheers, Ken

I’d say there is enough “curliness” going on with the dragon. So  we could try 
with a simple bold font  . Perhaps with an outline of a different color like 
Hadoop’s/Mahouts is and tie it in with the dragon’s colors as well.

+1 for the dragon as well. 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<http://trafodion.apache.org> site. That might be better 
(although still not my favorite).

By the way, the size of the example logo is arbitrary.  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.

The Trafodion cursive writing and color  -1. IMHO we need to rework the writing

the cursive.

Hi,

I like both. I do agree that the font for “Trafodion” makes a’s and o’s too 
much alike. Would be nice to switch to another font that doesn’t have that 
issue.

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?

Cheers, Ken
