I am +1 on the site absolutely. I suggest that we seperate the vote on the logo and the site.

I can’t post a screenshot but here is the proposed logo. https://github.com/apache/mahout/blob/mahout-1981/website/assets/mahout-logo.svg <https://github.com/apache/mahout/blob/mahout-1981/website/assets/mahout-logo.svg> I encourage people to look at all of this and be judicious with -1s. This has been a lot of work, much of the design volunteered by folks at startbootstrap.com. IMO the design is awesome. It will put a good, modern, clean face on the new Mahout. The logo is a simple cube, not my favorite but I’m not going to -1 my favorite was the M/infinity symbol. If the logo is meant to be a hypercube there are simple ways to illustrate it like some form of this: https://sarcasticresonance.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/cubes1.png?w=721&zoom=2 <https://sarcasticresonance.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/cubes1.png?w=721&zoom=2> On Dec 6, 2017, at 11:27 AM, Pat Ferrel <p...@occamsmachete.com> wrote: Since you’ve already built it can you share a screen shot? The mockup I saw on Slack looked awesome. Also a logo change is a lot more far reaching so can we have at least a little discussion?
