Tika Logo Proposals
I am working on designing the Tika logo via the Google Highly Open
Participation Contest. I have put up several drafts here:
http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-asf/issues/detail?id=1&colspec=ID%20Status%20Owner%20ClaimedBy%20SummaryPlease
take a look at them and tell me what you think.

You're totally right...I never happened to be near my macosx install
DVD when I wanted to try it before (the DVD is needed to install X11),
but now it was handy so I have downloaded and installed Inkscape and
it looks good!

If you just need the feather in SVG format:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/src/documentation/poster/svg/asf-logo.svg
Bertrand, why don't you download a copy of Inkscape? It's a really cool
and powerful SVG editor. http://www.inkscape.org/download/?lang=en

FYI, I have now asked [1] Yongqian to attach the draft #9 logo to
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-108, so that we can use it
if we want.

Tika people, Yongqian has uploaded three new proposals (under comment
46 of the GHOP issue tracker, http://tinyurl.com/2xmsn2).
I think the tika logo draft #9.svg.eps is good enough to declare the
task completed, but I'll wait a bit before doing that, comments are
welcome.
That doesn't mean that we have to use the logo as is, that's a
separate discussion.

I have uploaded a PDF version at

that help?
I like the tika logo draft #8.svg.eps [1], if you could just make the
feather more visible (and maybe make a variant without it, if you
don't find a good way of integrating it) I think we could declare the
task completed.

I use Inkscape, which cannot open eps files. I converted the eps file you
gave me with the command
pstoedit -f plot-svg Z:\asf_logo_1999.eps Z:\asf_logo_1999.svg
But asf_logo_1999.svg only had the gray scale version of the logo.

You can get an EPS version of the Apache logo at
http://people.apache.org/~bdelacretaz/files/asf_logo_1999.eps, which
includes the feather in color.
Please upload your proposals in EPS format (to the issue tracker is
better) as you did before, for some reason I cannot read your SVG
properly.

Hi,
Could you also use "Apache Tika" as the project name instead of just
"Tika", or at least include "Apache" somewhere in the logo?
BR,

I have been busy the last few days, so I didn't have time to reply until
now. I have made that changes you have requested. I cannot find a colored
version of the Apache logo, however. If you can send that to me, I will
include it. And yes, I do this this is getting a bit out of scope for GHOP.
I can still work on refining it but I doubt that my limited skills would be
enough to bring the design to a satisfactory state.

The new drafts can be found attached to

in comment 26.
As I said there, #7 looks funny, the name is too hard to read IMO. But
thanks for trying to think out of the box!
To me, #6 looks much better than the previous drafts, and you have
taken my comments into account nicely.
I still have some wishes, tough, about #6:
It's hard to see the feather maybe re-adding some color to it would
help? Or making the binary block softer in the area where the feather
overlaps it?
The gap between the "a" of Tika and the closing tag looks too wide to me.
The opening a closing tags might benefit from being in a softer shade
of gray, to give more importance to the word "Tika".
The "Tika" font looks a bit too, maybe playing with the horizontal bar
of the T would help? Extending it further to the right maybe?
Yongqian, let us know if you think this is getting out of scope for
GHOP, or if you agree to work a bit more on refining the logo. I like
the current idea, but I think it needs some polishing to be more
balanced and punchy.
What do others think?

Hi,
Yongqian has posted a new draft at
http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-asf/issues/detail?id=1
(tika logo draft #5.svg.eps), here are my comments:
I like the binary block + arrow setup very much!
Maybe the Tika word could be larger, and overlap the other elements a
bit, I think that might make the logo more alive.
The feather looks like it's here because it has to ;-) Not sure what
to suggest, maybe putting it behind the Tika word? Or a small colored
feather inside the binary block?

Hi Yongqian,
Thanks for your work!

As I wrote in the issue tracker, I was initially going for #2, but I
see Chris's point.
What bugs me in #1 (tika logo draft #1.svg.eps) is that the arrow has
too much visual impact, as compared to the "Tika" name which should be
the important part. Also, it's not the feather that's transformed into
Tika, it's binary documents that are "transformed" into metadata.
If you can take these comments into account and modify the logo
accordingly, I'm ok for going further with #1.

Re: Tika Logo Proposals

Hi Yongqian,
Thanks for your hard work so far. To me, I like logo #1 because it helps to
foster the "extraction" part of Tika. To me, #2 looks similar to our
existing Tika logo (http://incubator.apache.org/tika/), the one that we want
to spruce up.
So, my +1 to do more work on #1.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Chris
