Thank you, Gilles. I appreciate you reaching out. Normally I encourage PMCs to not re-orient or "spindle" the feather where possible, but I understand that some legacy logos have a bit of a problem with positioning. For example, the Apache HTTP Server logo:
- original logo https://twitter.com/apache_httpd/photo - interim logo https://britewire.com/apache-http-server/ - new logo https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/project-logos/originals/httpd.svg Whilst I understand the proposed design, I'm not *loving* the look of the logo, particularly as Apache Commons has such a massive footprint across so many projects. To that end, may I ask a favor? Would you and the Apache Commons PMC be amenable to considering having Central Services --a somewhat new sub-group of ASF Marketing & Publicity-- help you with creating a new logo? If you are not in a rush, we can see how we can help you. ApacheCon North America starts on Monday, and we can start the discussions on what your requirements are and the best way to meet your needs. ApacheCon Europe is taking place in October: I was thinking the timeframe between the two events (~6 weeks) would be sufficient for us to have a few proposals developed. If this works for you, we can get started this week. If not, I understand. You may proceed with the proposed logo with the intention of revisiting and updating in future. Many kind thanks again for your attention and consideration.
