Christine Poerschke commented on LUCENE-9221:
---------------------------------------------
bq. ... A brief description about this logo submission: ...
Thanks [~DHAVER0313] for contributing this!
bq. ... The 'L' becomes a feather/wing that represents speed and quickness
while keeping with the feather idea from Apache. ...
bq. ... the suggested color palette.
I wonder if some sort of medium-to-dark green color palette has been considered
or might work:
* With the original Logo being light green choosing a deeper green could be
interpreted as a nod to tradition and/or continuity and longevity.
* Representation of speed and quickness via the feather/wing could align with
green as a representation of efficiency.
Green in the eco-friendly (data center) energy-saving efficiency sense that
is.
bq. ... change the bottom half of the 'wing' into a triangle ... make the
negative space an inverted A for Apache.
That sounds like a very neat idea, thanks [~jeremynovey].
> Lucene Logo Contest
> -------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-9221
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9221
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Ryan Ernst
> Priority: Trivial
> Attachments: LuceneLogo.png, image.png, zabetak-1-7.pdf
>
>
> The Lucene logo has served the project well for almost 20 years. However, it
> does sometimes show its age and misses modern nice-to-haves like invertable
> or grayscale variants.
>
> The PMC would like to have a contest to replace the current logo. This issue
> will serve as the submission mechanism for that contest. When the submission
> deadline closes, a community poll will be used to guide the PMC in the
> decision of which logo to choose. Keeping the current logo will be a possible
> outcome of this decision, if a majority likes the current logo more than any
> other proposal.
>
> The logo should adhere to the guidelines set forth by Apache for project
> logos ([https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs#graphics]), specifically
> that the full project name, "Apache Lucene", must appear in the logo
> (although the word "Apache" may be in a smaller font than "Lucene").
>
> The contest will last approximately one month. The submission deadline is
> -*Monday, March 16, 2020*- *Monday, April 6, 2020*. Submissions should be
> attached in a single zip or tar archive, with the filename of the form
> {{[user]-[proposal number].[extension]}}.
