Hi,

I thought I should tell you about this...

A home 3D printer, the "Cocoon Create" is on the market in
Australia. The product is described on their website here:
http://www.cocooncreate.com.au . It's distributed by a company
called Winplus, and it was available at Aldi supermarkets last
week.

To my mind the style of the Cocoon Create logo is very similar
to that of the Apache Cocoon project. The "Cocoon" word is
fairly generic and I doubt you'd object to its use for a
product that's not connected with Apache Cocoon. The visual
style is another matter. If the Project Management Committee
agrees, I suggest you ask Winplus to change the appearance of
their logo.


Hi Paul,
thanks for reporting.

We will take this forward with the ASF legal team.

Regards.
