Re: [VOTE] KIP-657: Add Customized Kafka Streams Logo

2020-08-20 Thread Ben Stopford
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

2020-08-20 Thread Antony Stubbs
(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

2020-08-20 Thread Michael Noll
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.

Re: [VOTE] KIP-657: Add Customized Kafka Streams Logo

2020-08-19 Thread Philip Schmitt
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.

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

2020-08-19 Thread Guozhang Wang
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

2020-08-19 Thread Robin Moffatt
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

2020-08-19 Thread Michael Noll
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

2020-08-18 Thread Matthias J. Sax
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.

Re: Right to modify Apache Kafka logo

2020-04-18 Thread Matthias J. Sax
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!

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-

Switch Apache logo URL to HTTPS

2014-07-19 Thread Marcin Zajączkowski
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 -
