Hi, I am glad you like the draft#1 (and actually I think the second design is not totally lost, just wipe out the Apache letters and you get it). But the problem is that the draft#1 (as it is today) would not make it into the contest due to violation of the strongest requirement:
The logo must incorporate the full project name: Apache Solr That is the assigment (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/LogoContest). You can try to push the contest organizers, not me... If you were to ask me if I like the fact that the Apache word has to be incorporated then I would tell you that I not happy about it (but this should not mean that I think that one can not create a perfect design with the Apache word). The problem I see with this is that there are no official rules how the Apache word can be used in designs (which type of font, which color...). Current mix of fonts in my second proposal is not ideal but I am scared to use any exotic font on Apache because people are used to see something like Arial Bold and in the end of the day having too exotic design of Apache could be seen as an disadvantage.
