I notice that Apache Forrest does use the Apache feather: there are three of them stood on their quills as if they are a small stand of trees.
It seems to me that the incorporation of the feather can be a little strained. The cases where it is in shadow, on the other hand, are easy to overlook. The orb with stylized gulls is very convenient at a lot of sizes and formats, including as a download button, an icon on directory entries on downloaded exe and oxt files, etc. If the feather is to be a feature of that, it will be tricky. It would be useful to see some examples, as Kay suggests. - Dennis PS: I also wonder whether generic icons should be part of the source release and distinct icons be used in the Apache-provided "authentic" builds. In that case, it would be great if the generic icons did not have the feather in any way. That's a half-baked notion, and it simply might not be acceptable. It is something I wonder about -- differentiating builds produced by the project from ones produced in some other manner and the source only having the generic icons. -----Original Message----- From: Kay Schenk [mailto:kay.sch...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2012 15:30 To: OOo Apache Subject: [WWW] Do we need a new site logo (for graduation) -- call for volunteers We all love the orb with gulls, but maybe it's time for a slight update to our logo? Or the header line on our websites (project and user portal). I took a look around at some of the Apache projects and the use of project logos and web site headers seems to fall into a few different categories. Sites using Apache feather but not in product logo -- http://camel.apache.org/ http://forrest.apache.org/ http://cocoon.apache.org/ Sites incorporating feather logo into an existing logo -- http://mina.apache.org/ http://jakarta.apache.org/oro/ http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/ http://activemq.apache.org/ http://ofbiz.apache.org/ (???) Sites not making overt use of any Apache logo (feather) -- http://click.apache.org/ So, any preferences? Ideas? There already exists a AOOLogo proposal page, https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOOLogo+proposal so we could just add items to this, or change some that are here, or add a child page, etc. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MzK "Just 'cause you got the monkey off your back doesn't mean the circus has left town." -- George Carlin
