I guess that you refer to the new logo which Gary has started to use. There has been a discussion about it with M&P and "Trademarks"; the official requirements are: * do not use "ASF" in the logo, * do not imply that the project's name has changed (the official name is "Apache Commons"). [IMO, the first is totally counter-intuitive, but the rationale lies in avoiding difficulties in defending the trademark.] The pending discussion is whether the logo of the project should mention "Apache" at all. Mark (from "Trademarks") has explicitly allowed _not_ mentioning it (as is the case for many ASF projects). Personally, I strongly oppose re-introducing the string "apache" in the logo, especially since the (closest-to "official") logo of "Commons" has not been referring to it for years.[1] Gilles [1] https://www.apache.org/logos/?#commons --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
