Doug Cutting commented on SOLR-84:
----------------------------------
I like
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12349896/logo-solr-e.jpg and
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12358494/sslogo-solr.jpg,
because they're simple and scale down well. It should be possible to scale the
logo, or a salient part of it, as small as a favicon (16x16) and still have it
easily recognized. Most of the designs above require a lot of pixels to be
recognizable. A good logo should be iconic more than textual--an abstract
symbol.
Often you can sample an element of a logo to form a favicon (like we do with
Lucene's 'L'). So, when voting, think about whether there's an easily
identifiable sample (e.g., is the typeface of the 'S' distinctive?).
I note that Steve Stedman did not provide his logos under the Apache license.
Was that intentional? I like his quite a lot...

> This issue was original a scratch pad for various ideas for new Logos. It is
> now being used as a repository for submissions for the Solr Logo Contest...
> http://wiki.apache.org/solr/LogoContest
> Note that many of the images currently attached are not eligible for the
> contest since they do not meet the official guidelines for new Apache project
> logos (in particular that the full project name "Apache Solr" must be
> included in the Logo). Only eligible attachments will be included in the
> official voting.
