Emma Kellam commented on AVRO-3554:
-----------------------------------
Thank you [~thiru_mg] for your preference and reasoning behind it, very solid
points! :)
Waiting until Monday to open up the vote works well, and the timeline and
method for determining the winner also makes sense to me! [~opwvhk] if you
don't mind helping me by calling the vote on the mailing list that would be
much appreciated! :D Otherwise, I'm happy to open the vote myself! I would just
need a little guidance on what the proper format I should adhere to is when
opening a vote. Before Monday I'll make another png that includes all the
finalists so it'll be easier for everyone to vote on their favourite in one
place without having to search around for the final designs :)
Thanks again!

> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Ryan Skraba
> Assignee: Emma Kellam
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.12.0
>
> Attachments: Apache-Avro-Logo-Ideas.pdf, Apache-Avro-Logo-Ideas.png,

> There was a quick discussion with Apache Trademarks along the lines "If it
> ever came to a legal challenge, would we care enough to defend our usage? If
> not, changing it discreetly and voluntarily is the best route."
> The result: we _must_ change our logo this year to some original art.
>
> Criteria for a new logo, as discussed on the mailing list:
> [https://lists.apache.org/thread/m5w7fmkjnrl8m4hlbw8xhzr4v69xg3ml]:
> Must:
> * be unique and not similar to anything “out there”
> * be available in a vector format (SVG) so it can be scaled with full
> accuracy
> Should:
> * show either something of the name (like Beam, Airflow, Ant, Drill) or what
> it does (like Mahout, Bookkeeper, Ratis, Pulsar)
> * have 2 variants: Square/Circle (social media, favicon, etc) and rectangle
> (top banner)
> Could:
> * have the banner logo be the compact logo with the name attached, or more
> elaborate
> Would:
> * have limited colors; at most 5-10 (so like Iceberg, not like Flex with the
> gradients)
>
> _To allow sufficient artistic freedom, we should limit new requirements.
> Instead, please add ideas in the comments._
