There appears to be broad support for this new proposed logo. A PR is now open at https://github.com/apache/arrow-adbc/pull/4870 that incorporates the logo into the ADBC site, adds a new Visual Identity page, and updates the trademarks notice in the footer to include the logo. Please reply here or comment on that issue if you have any questions or concerns. If there are no objections, we will adopt this logo by lazy consensus in >72 hours.
