Re: Accumulo Powered By Logo
I like the one with just the 'a', but I think we could make ~50% bigger. Adam On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 3:58 PM, Billie Rinaldi wrote: > I would argue that the "a" logo is one of our official logos.

Re: Accumulo Powered By Logo
I would argue that the "a" logo is one of our official logos. It is in use as the favicon of the Accumulo monitor page, and on our Twitter account.

Re: Accumulo Powered By Logo
I don't know what is meant by "official logo", but if we're referring to trademarks, one could argue (successfully?) that the 'a' by itself, in that specific style, is a trademark, just like the full logo we use on the page, especially since we use the 'a' by itself in the monitor page's "favicon". -- Christopher L Tubbs II http://gravatar.com/ctubbsii On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 3:48 PM, Keith Turner wrote: > On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 3:39 PM, Mike Drob wrote: > > > Yea, as an outside observer, I would have no idea what "Apache A" is, nor > > any idea how to get more information.

This would give some context. I suppose the biggest problem is that its not the official logo of Accumulo. Many logos completely out of context convey no information (like hadoop's elephant).

Re: Accumulo Powered By Logo
I think a logo that's more friendly to place in a circle would be useful. The Accumulo logo is very squared off.

Re: Accumulo Powered By Logo
Yea, as an outside observer, I would have no idea what "Apache A" is, nor any idea how to get more information. Maybe we just need a different logo, altogether, given the context of putting it in the PBA circle.

Accumulo Powered By Logo
I was a looking at the new Accumulo powered logo [1] and thought that just an A[2] may be better. Any other thoughts on how to improve this? Someone mentioned that just the A[2] isn't as informative in the case where someone is completely unfamiliar w/ Accumulo.
