Re: [VOTE] KIP-657: Add Customized Kafka Streams Logo
Just adding my 2c. Whether "cute" is a good route to take for logos is pretty subjective, but I do think the approach can work. However, a logo being simple seems. This was echoed earlier in Robins 'can it be shrunk' comment. Visually there's a lot going on in both of those images. I think simplifying, and being more heavily based on the Kafka logo would help. It's a cool logo. Michael's is that. Otherwise, maybe something like this.

Re: [VOTE] KIP-657: Add Customized Kafka Streams Logo
(just my honest opinion) I strongly oppose the suggested logos. I completely agree with Michael's analysis. The design appears to me to be quite random (regardless of the association of streams with otters) and clashes terribly with the embedded Kafka logo making it appear quite unprofessional. It looks like KS is trying to jump on the cute animal band wagon against the natural resistance of its existing style (Kafka). It also looks far too similar to the Firefox logo. As for the process, I think for there to be meaningful community deliberation about a logo, there needs to be far more ideas put forward, rather than just the two takes on the one concept. As for any suggestion on what it should be, I'm afraid I won't be of much help.

Re: [VOTE] KIP-657: Add Customized Kafka Streams Logo
For what it's worth, here is an example sketch that I came up with. Point is to show an alternative direction for the KStreams logo. https://ibb.co/bmZxDCg Thinking process: - It shows much more clearly (I hope) that KStreams is an official part of Kafka. - The Kafka logo is still front and center, and KStreams orbits around it like electrons around the Kafka core/nucleus. That’s important because we want users to adopt all of Kafka, not just bits and pieces. - It uses and builds upon the same ‘simple is beautiful’ style of the original Kafka logo. That also has the nice side-effect that it alludes to Kafka’s and KStreams’ architectural simplicity. - It picks up the good idea in the original logo candidates to convey the movement and flow of stream processing. - Execution-wise, and like the main Kafka logo, this logo candidate works well in smaller size, too, because of its simple and clear lines. (Logo types like the otter ones tend to become undecipherable at smaller sizes.) - It uses the same color scheme of the revamped AK website for brand consistency. I am sure we can come up with even better logo candidates. But the suggestion above is, in my book, certainly a better option than the otters. -Michael On Wed, Aug 19, 2020 at 11:09 PM Boyang Chen wrote: > Hey Ben, > > that otter was supposed to be a river-otter to connect to "streams".

Hey Ben, that otter was supposed to be a river-otter to connect to "streams".

Re: [VOTE] KIP-657: Add Customized Kafka Streams Logo
Hi, I’m with Robin and Michael here. What this decision needs is a good design brief. This article seems decent: https://yourcreativejunkie.com/logo-design-brief-the-ultimate-guide-for-designers/ Robin is right about the usage requirements. It goes a bit beyond resolution. How does the logo work when it’s on a sticker on someone’s laptop? Might there be some cases, where you want to print it in black and white? And how would it look if you put the Kafka, ksqlDB, and Streams stickers on a laptop? Of the two, I prefer the first option. The brown on black is a bit subdued – it might not work well on a t-shirt or a laptop sticker. Maybe that could be improved by using a bolder color, but once it gets smaller or lower-resolution, it may not work any longer. Regards, Philip P.S.: Another article about what makes a good logo: https://vanschneider.com/what-makes-a-good-logo P.P.S.: If I were to pick a logo for Streams, I’d choose something that fits well with Kafka and ksqlDB. ksqlDB has the rocket. I can’t remember (or find) the reasoning behind the Kafka logo (aside from representing a K). Was there something about planets orbiting the sun? Or was it the atom? So I might stick with a space/sience metaphor. Could Streams be a comet? UFO? Star? Eclipse? ... Maybe a satellite logo for Connect.

Re: [VOTE] KIP-657: Add Customized Kafka Streams Logo
Hi Michael, Thanks for the feedback, but I'm not totally in agreement with your proposed objectives of the logos. More specifically, though I agree Kafka's logo is a smartly designed one to convey some key ideas of the project such as "distributed" and "pipeline" in a techy manner, I'm not convinced it is the only golden-standard principle for any logo designs. And I also feel that it is not necessary to enforce Kafka Streams logo inheriting the same techy and cold simple line style as with Kafka logos and avoid other styles, e.g. animal images. To me the purpose of having a Kafka Streams logo is to demonstrate the stream processing part of Kafka, and the symbol of an otter to me illustrate "continuous actions in streams" surrounding Kafka in a nice way (and yes, it's also cute :). In addition I honestly do not share your concern that the current proposal would make people confuse Kafka Streams is not an official and integral part of Apache Kafka, but of course that's a subjective topic for us all. I do agree with Robin on the other feedback that it makes the Kafka logo too small especially in design A, while it obscures the Kafka logo in design B. I think this is addressable under the current design proposal though.

Re: [VOTE] KIP-657: Add Customized Kafka Streams Logo
I echo what Michael says here. Another consideration is that logos are often shrunk (when used on slides) and need to work at lower resolution (think: printing swag, stitching socks, etc) and so whatever logo we come up with needs to not be too fiddly in the level of detail - something that I think both the current proposed options will fall foul of IMHO.

Re: [VOTE] KIP-657: Add Customized Kafka Streams Logo
Hi all! Great to see we are in the process of creating a cool logo for Kafka Streams. First, I apologize for sharing feedback so late -- I just learned about it today. :-) Here's my *personal, subjective* opinion on the currently two logo candidates for Kafka Streams. TL;DR: Sorry, but I really don't like either of the proposed "otter" logos. Let me try to explain why. - The choice to use an animal, regardless of which specific animal, seems random and doesn't fit Kafka. (What's the purpose? To show that KStreams is 'cute'?) In comparison, the O’Reilly books always have an animal cover, that’s their style, and it is very recognizable. Kafka however has its own, different style. The Kafka logo has clear, simple lines to achieve an abstract and ‘techy’ look, which also alludes nicely to its architectural simplicity. Its logo is also a smart play on the Kafka-identifying letter “K” and alluding to it being a distributed system (the circles and links that make the K). - The proposed logos, however, make it appear as if KStreams is a third-party technology that was bolted onto Kafka. They certainly, for me, do not convey the message "Kafka Streams is an official part of Apache Kafka". - I, too, don't like the way the main Kafka logo is obscured (a concern already voiced in this thread). Also, the Kafka 'logo' embedded in the proposed KStreams logos is not the original one. - None of the proposed KStreams logos visually match the Kafka logo. They have a totally different style, font, line art, and color scheme. - Execution-wise, the main Kafka logo looks great at all sizes. The style of the otter logos, in comparison, becomes undecipherable at smaller sizes. What I would suggest is to first agree on what the KStreams logo is supposed to convey to the reader. Here's my personal take: Objective 1: First and foremost, the KStreams logo should make it clear and obvious that KStreams is an official and integral part of Apache Kafka. This applies to both what is depicted and how it is depicted (like font, line art, colors). Objective 2: The logo should allude to the role of KStreams in the Kafka project, which is the processing part. That is, "doing something useful to the data in Kafka". The "circling arrow" aspect of the current otter logos does allude to "continuous processing", which is going in the direction of (2), but the logos do not meet (1) in my opinion. -Michael On Tue, Aug 18, 2020 at 10:34 PM Matthias J.

Re: [VOTE] KIP-657: Add Customized Kafka Streams Logo
Adding the user mailing list -- I think we should accepts votes on both lists for this special case, as it's not a technical decision. @Boyang: as mentioned by Bruno, can we maybe add black/white options for both proposals, too? I also agree that Design B is not ideal with regard to the Kafka logo. Would it be possible to change Design B accordingly? I am not a font expert, but the fonts in both design are different and I am wondering if there is an official Apache Kafka font that we should reuse to make sure that the logos align -- I would expect that both logos (including "Apache Kafka" and "Kafka Streams" names) will be used next to each other and it would look awkward if the font differs. -Matthias On 8/18/20 11:28 AM, Navinder Brar wrote: > Hi, > Thanks for the KIP, really like the idea.

Re: Right to modify Apache Kafka logo
Sylvain, I am replying on behalf of the Kafka PMC: It is not allowed to modify any ASF project logos to any extent (cf. http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/). You can use the Kafka log unmodified to point out that your project is related to Apache Kafka. But you need to pick an independent project logo and cannot reuse/embed the Kafka logo in your project logo because your work is not part of the Apache Kafka project itself. It is similar with project names: if one builds for example a cluster monitoring tool, the project cannot be name "Apache Kafka Cluster Monitor" (or similar), as it would imply that the project is part of Apache Kafka itself what is miss leading. An allowed/recommended wording would be "Cluster Monitor for Apache Kafka". Hence, your current project name "Kafka Streams .NET" also seems to be in violation of the ASF trademarks and needs to be changed. A valid name could be ".NET stream processing library for Apache Kafka"? Thanks for reaching out! We highly appreciate your upfront inquiry! And all the best for your project! It's always exiting to see people building tools/libraries around Apache Kafka! -Matthias On 4/18/20 9:24 AM, Dave Canton wrote: > Hello Sylvain, > > Apache's Trademark Policy might help: > http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/ > > Best regards > Dave > > On Sat, 18 Apr 2020 at 18:03, Sylvain Le Gouellec < > sylvain.legouel...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I start a new open source project : Kafka Stream .NET.

Right to modify Apache Kafka logo
Hi, I start a new open source project : Kafka Stream .NET. For that, I modified the Apache Kafka logo. Is it possible or not ? Do I respect your ASF guidelines ? I read them in your website but I didn’t found this information. https://github.com/LGouellec/kafka-stream-net If I can’t, I will modify my logo to respect asf for sure. Regards

Re: Kafka Logo as HighRes or Vectorgraphics
Jan, Here's vector files for the logo. One of our teammates went ahead and helped resized it to fit nicely into a 2x4m board with 15cm of margin all around. Note: I was told to kindly remind you (and other readers of this) to follow the Apache branding guidelines for the logo, and please not manipulate the vector in any way other than proportionally scaling it as needed. Minimal version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxy- BmVSBalmNFY5YzdnY001ckU/view?usp=sharing Full version (with "Apache"): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxy- BmVSBalmdHRUVHgxRHl2ejQ/view?usp=sharing Hope this helps, Michael On Fri, Dec 2, 2016 at 10:04 AM, Jan Filipiak wrote: > Hi, > > I was just pointed to this. https://www.vectorlogo.zone/lo > gos/apache_kafka/ > if someone else is looking for the same thing! thanks a lot > > Best Jan > > > On 01.12.2016 13:05, Jan Filipiak wrote: > >> Hi Everyone, >> >> we want to print some big banners of the Kafka logo to decorate our >> offices.

Switch Apache logo URL to HTTPS
Hi, Reading Kafka webpage/documentation through HTTPS (e.g. https://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html) I spotted that it generates warning (in Firefox and Chromium) about a reference to unencrypted resources. In fact the Apache logo is always load using HTTP - http://www.apache.org/images/feather-small.png As that image is also available via HTTPS I think it would painless to switch "src" in "img" tag in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/kafka/site/includes/footer.html to HTTPS or use double slash syntax which was defined in 15+ years old RFC 1808 and should be supported by recent browsers - http://stackoverflow.com/a/9632363/313516 Marcin -- http://blog.solidsoft.info/ - Working code is not enough

i like the sketches too, maybe a backwards K for a bit of edge?

Re: Logo
Yeah it comes from the author. There is no direct connection--i.e. Franz Kafka did not write about unifying all your data in a high-throughput distributed log thing as far as I know. :-) We had previous gone with a Harry Potter theme at LinkedIn, but after a half dozen projects had kind of exhausted the good Harry Potter related names. "Kafka" sounds cool and kind of kept the literary theme. -Jay On Wed, Dec 19, 2012 at 10:13 AM, David Arthur wrote: > Somewhat tangential, but where did the name Kafka come from?

Re: Logo
Here are are a few of my thoughts on a Kafka logo: 1. This is an open source project not an accounting firm, so it can be kind of cool looking (doesn't have to be too bland/corporate). 2. But I don't think our logo should be a cockroach because they are icky. 3. Characters is Kafka books are often called "K." or "Joesph K" or something like that so a stylized K would be an option. 4. Kafka had a number of stylized sketches of figures that are actually pretty cool: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XEU25Q9oRlo/TzcM5VVa9YI/AF8/f3O4LLPkHNs/s1600/drawings.jpg 5. I particularly like the black and white sketchy styling of those drawings. I think black and white would be a nice color scheme. 6. There is also an Andy Warhol Kafka sketch which might be good for inspiration: http://www.electronicbeats.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/kafka_small-940x391.jpg 7. Our domain is streams which could be visually kind of twisted and whispy. -Jay On Wed, Dec 19, 2012 at 10:03 AM, Jay Kreps wrote: > A few people have asked about getting a logo for Kafka.

Re: Logo
Somewhat tangential, but where did the name Kafka come from? Is it a reference to Franz Kafka and The Metamorphosis (or other work)? I ask, because knowing how the name "Kafka" relates to a distribute pub/sub system might help inspire ideas for a logo. -David On 12/19/12 1:03 PM, Jay Kreps wrote: A few people have asked about getting a logo for Kafka.
