Sorry for the massive delay, here's the logo in a vector (pdf) format.
We've had a go at incorporating the feather but no luck yet. Has
anyone got a vector version of the Apache feather anywhere?
Let me know where you want me to upload this (or do it yourself ;)

What will be the licensing of the final logo? #4 contains

I'm really happy that the content got incorporated into the
Shindig logo
(congrats, Ben!), but want to make sure that the final logo is
released
under the terms of the share alike clause of the license (so that
others
may
use it in their own works).
We're talking about something different when we create a logo. We
are
creating a trademark (whether legally registered or not), so it
will not
be free to use - it will be limited by trademark law, and managed
by the
Apache Public Relations Committee.
However, for us to use that logo within ours we'll need rights to
that
image. I doubt we'd be able to use it in that context with a
creative-commons license.
A simple solution would be for you to grant the ASF rights to use
it, as
it sees fit. This would not prevent you from continuing to license
it to
the world using the Creative Commons license.
Is that something you would be willing to do?
Absolutely, I was concerned that there would be a problem with
trademark
law, but I'm happy with this solution. Just let me know what I
have to do.
I will also need to investigate the situation with using an otherwise
open-source image as a part of one's logo. It may undermine our
ability
to protect our trademark. I'll go check on the legal discuss list.
