Possible T-shirt image
here's a concept for a t-shirt image based on the "i'm with qpid" slogan
(attached)
:-)
Re: Possible T-shirt image
Posted by Carl Trieloff <cc...@redhat.com>.
I think we may need to take the AMQP off the logo to not have issues
with the AMQP WG, maybe
put the AMQP in text below it.
I am going to see if I can get a set of these printed to be handed out...

Re: Possible T-shirt image

Mark -- Thanks for kind words, and ideas about the logo.
Here are 3 alternatives:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-1627
"original" -- the one you've already seen
"manta" -- even more manta-like than the original, and
"chevron" -- that looks more like your "fast-forward" idea.
I do like the idea of it looking "fast" -- I actually think that "Manta"
accomplishes that best because the shape itself looks fast, rather than
suggesting a symbol from media-players that means "fast forward". IMHO
that's one indirection or abstraction too many.
Also, personally, I think the arrow ought to point directly at the
"Qpid" slogan -- not at the hypothetical person you're walking next to.
So that, effectively, the logo says "AMQP is fast and it's with Qpid."
Please let us know your reactions to these three alternatives. ( And
everybody else, please! )
We want it to say:
1. Fast
2. AMQP == Qpid
3. This is cool / sexy
That's a lot to ask of 4 words, 6 polygons, and one exclamation point,
but I think we're getting there!

I have seen many other projects do it, from what I remember you just
need to notify them

I think we might need to run this by prc@ before we do this. Also, I
think it would be better to decide on a logo and slogan first, before
creating merch. Cafepress and friends can get stuff in a few days, so
it needent be a rush before March.

Re: Possible T-shirt image

Great work Michael!
I like the idea! Though currently it looks (to me) a little like a ray -
i.e. a sting-ray or eagle-ray. Admittedly this appeals to me - I'm an
underwater photographer - look for me on Flickr.
However, if the blue bit could be made to stretch up and down a bit more to
be the same size as the right-hand chevron, it would it look more arrow-like
i.e. something like:
=>>
I'm no graphic artist!
Actually thinking about it, also making the above change might also ape the
classic 'fast-forward' symbol so it could subliminally imply speed (but
crucially without any formal commitment! :o) ?
Perhaps placing the arrow above or below the words would allow it to point
to a nearby colleague a la the original T-shirt.
Thoughts?

That's pretty good. I prefer to change the colors of the logo, but we have
