: actually looking over this now... : The bit I was worried about was having to click on each icon to see the : non-scaled version. whoops ... i didn't see this when i sent my reply to your draft. My concern about it being on the wiki is that it's editable during the voting, i'd rather have a static page somewhere (that at most one person might muck with). -Hoss

I updated: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/LogoContest with the list I think are voteable. I took the liberty to drop: https://issues.apache.org//jira/secure/attachment/12394316/solr-solid-R.png since I asked for it and the original is nicer (i think) I also swapped: https://issues.apache.org//jira/secure/attachment/12394367/solr2_maho.png into: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12394475/solr2_maho-vote.png if you see anything missing from the voting list, or something that should be removed/modified -- fix it soon! ryan On Nov 21, 2008, at 8:07 PM, Chris Hostetter wrote: Ryan, are you still volunteering for this? :) : Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2008 17:10:28 -0400 : From: Ryan McKinley : Subject: Fwd: LogoContest Process Timeline ... was: Re: [Solr Wiki] Update : of LogoContest by HossMan : Rather then voting directly off the JIRA page -- When the submissions : are closed, I suggest we build a special page for the contest and : only put 'final drafts' on that.

Hi, After reading the LogoContest rules again I am trying to figure if there are any valid submitions in SOLR-84 right now... 1) None of current submitions in SOLR-84 contain Apache word.2) As long as Solr shold not be spelled in all capitals (SOLR) this could wipe out some of current submitions as well. Is violation of any of above mentioned rules a reason for exclusion of logo design from entering the voting pool?

: Perhaps pushing the date to the 20th, and finishing on Thanksgiving? Yeah, that sounds like a better idea. i'll update the wiki. : Using JIRA is good because it takes care of all the IP issues and is : already there to use, but not so good because the thumbnails look : crapy and people who submit items can not delete their own. It also : falls into the problem of voting on 5 version of the same logo. I just double checked ... in spite of what the Manage Attachments page in Jira says, anyone can delete a file they themselves attached (i was pretty sure because we've had problems in the past with people removing patches because they have new approaches and the old ones get lost forever) The thumbnail issue is admittedly anoying. : Rather then voting directly off the JIRA page -- When the submissions : are closed, I suggest we build a special page for the contest and : only put 'final drafts' on that. This page will be passed by the that makes sense -- it will help eliminate the possibility of people adding new attachments in the middle of voting as well. but as i said: if people want to withdraw a logo they can take care of that via Jira before the deadline. -Hoss

development, delivering the highest quality, standards compliant software]

/!\ Is this strictly true? several current Apache logo's don't have
this.
: + * '''The logo must incorporate the full project name: Apache Solr'''
: +* NOTE: The word Apache may be in a smaller font then Solr
:* The logo should not incorporate images that are exclusively specific to
Native American culture. However, symbols that have broad or multiple meanings
are acceptable in evoking a Native American theme. Thus, a feather, which has
many possible applications, would be appropriate, but a headdress would not be.
:* The logo should not incorporate any overt cultural or religious symbolism
:* The logo may incorporate other imagery, abstract symbols or a
catchphrase, so long as the full project name is included somewhere in the
logo. To this extent, the full project name can be displayed in a smaller font
size than the main image, if there exists a main image
