On the thread http://search-hadoop.com/m/DHED4uBtYz1, we voted an Orca as our mascot.
Below let us pick which Orca representation to use going forward. Intentionally, we are not voting on an 'hbase logo' + Orca combination. We are justing voting on an Orca representation. Let putting together our current logo and the chosen Orca image be a separate project (done by a professional!). I think it ok voting on the image only because how they are combined will vary with deployment context. We are voting on the image only also because getting a set of 'hbase logo' and Orca combinations that are of equal treatment to put under your noses is too much work. So, please vote on which Orca representation we should use going forward as the Apache HBase mascot. First review the options and then add your vote in the section on the end. First up are the classics: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12511525/apache%20hbase%20orca%20logo_Proof%203.pdf There are four on this page. Number #1 is nkeywals's favorite. Lets vote on #1 and #2 only from this page (Where #2 is the black version of nkeywal's favorite). This page has four from which to choose: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12648671/Apache_HBase _Orca_Logo_round5.pdf The options are called out below as "Page N from Apache_HBase_Orca_Logo_round5.pdf <https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12648671/Apache_HBase_Orca_Logo_round5.pdf>", etc. Enis used this one in his hbase 1.0 hbasecon talk: http://depositphotos.com/2900573/stock-illustration-killer-whale-tattoo.html Here is an image that just needs attribution arranged in a few ways by JMS: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12662112/proposal_3_logo.png https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12662110/proposal_2_logo.png https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12661953/orca_free_vector_on_top_66percent_levelled.png https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12661954/orca_free_vector_some_selections.png Lets call this option the 'plus_orca' https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12514291/plus_orca.png And finally, these two the miscellaneous orcas #1 and #2: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12514301/more_orcas2.png Fill in an 'x' into the box below for the one you want.
