Will, Would a discuss thread to get a lazy consensus of finalists work?

Since PMC members cast binding votes and all votes require a minimum number of bind ing votes, the notion of PMC “acceptance” is baked into all votes.

I think the vote should be held with all of the following lists included: marketing@, dev@ and users@ I think it is important that the user and marketing teams who are using ACS have a say on this topic as it is not code related and is more likely to affect their use cases than that of a contributing developer.

It would be good to have a variant which allows for a dark background. To my eye, most of the "powered by" statements are too small. I like the weight of #9, but wish it included the monkey. Maybe something along the lines of #8, but with the font size for the "powered by" of #9 with the "powered by" statement placed centered above the "apache cloudstack" emblem? I'm not a designer or I'd mock something up to better visualize what's in my head. For me, the monkey is part of our brand identity, and I'd hate to see it subordinate in a logo program. -tim On Thu, May 12, 2016 at 1:57 PM, Will Stevens <williamstev...@gmail.com> wrote: Haha. I am not sure if I should be taking that as a compliment or not Giles. :P On the topic of the branding colors, I have not found any color guidelines for marketing material (and I have looked). Is that because we don't have one, or is it just because my google foo is weak? While I agree the the "color" version is the most consistent with the current branding, is there anything that says we can't use colors that better match the context in which the graphics are used? If we do want to restrict the colors, I think we should definitely think about creating a color guide which we all use. I ask because the graphic designer in me actually likes the dark blue version in many cases. In addition to that, we will need to increase our marketing activities going forward and having quality guidelines and resources will help us present a cleaner and higher quality message. I don't want to derail this conversation, but I thought it was relevant considering Giles comments.

I think both 8 and 9 would be useful in different situations So, if possible I’d suggest that we publish 7,8 and 9 I suggest that we only publish the blue versions of each as the colour is quite intrinsic to the brand I’m sure some people will disagree. If anybody does, shout in the next day or two and we can have a vote on this list so Andre can progress (which I think will be the first ever vote on marketing@) Kind Regards Giles giles.sir...@shapeblue.com www.shapeblue.com<http://www.shapeblue.com/> @shapeblue From: Will Stevens [mailto:williamstev...@gmail.com] Sent: 12 May 2016 16:48 To: marketing@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Re: Supported by ACS logo I think that #4 and #5 are the least useful because Apache CloudStack is not mentioned and the monkey alone does not have enough brand recognition in order for those to effectively present the Apache CloudStack project (IMHO). #6 and #7 are my favorite vertical versions. #8 and #9 are my favorite horizontal versions. I think in some situations #1 will also be useful. On Thu, May 12, 2016 at 11:31 AM, Cyrano Rizzo <cyr...@usp.br> wrote: Hi Andre, Congratulations by the great job!

I am working for BIT.Group GmbH and heading the area called “Cloud Services”. There we are delivering Infrastructure Management Services to big customers (mainly SAP) with a clear focus on open source technologies. That means we do classical IT outsourcing specialized on implementing and operating virtualization and OS layer with Experts / Administrators in Germany (Dresden) and China (Shanghai). Giving this background we started last year to build up an own “BIT.Cloud” and decided to use Apache Cloud Stack and Ceph as focus technologies. Our experiences with ACS are really good (clearly we find the one or the other optimization potential ;-)), we had great interactions in the community already and we decided to deepen our involvement. So hopefully you will hear now inputs from our side quite more often and we especially want to increase the CloudStack presence in the German speaking area. What we currently miss is a kind of “supported by ACS” logo, because we want to publish our Cloud offering with a clear statement of our focus technologies. I heart that there were already discussions in the past, but somehow it did not come to an end. Do you also see the need or in general would you support the initiative to get such a logo? In case most of you answer the question with yes, I see following main questions: • Would you use the cloud stack (word), the monkey logo or the combination of both? • Are there any legal restrictions which we have to consider (e.g. does somebody has to approve this from ASF side?) • Do you know why the initiative in the past did not succeed? • Did someone in the past already created some drafts or similar? • In case we have some logo proposals clearly some will like it and some won’t. Will we start a voting procedure or how does this work usually? Please excuse this maybe stupid questions, but as I initially wrote, I am quite new to this ☺. My wish would be, that everybody can use such a “supported by” logo in case he wants to and I would offer to engage our designer, to prepare some design proposals and share the results with you. I am looking forward for a fruitful discussion and your feedback. Thanks and best regards.
