draft "River logo"
Hi all-
It's certainly not the most urgent thing on our project
'plate'.... but what the heck (sometimes a logo/image
can help form an identity and start to bind an effort
and spur it forward). I informally worked with a graphics
person at Sun to come up with the attached draft
Apache River project logo.
In thinking about a potential logo, I imagined it would be
interesting to borrow elements from our past Jini logo,
to visually show the connection from whence we came,
and then include elements connecting to 'river' and which
portray activity and dynamism. I also wanted something simple.
To that end:
- the colors and font are consistent with the Jini logo, as
well as (obviously) the swirl/steam on top
- the curve underneath could signify a flowing river. It could
also be interpreted as somewhat of a reflection of the top
swirl into a river.
Interested to hear what you think, or if others have alternative
thoughts or drawings.
-Jim

Personally I had hoped we wouldn't get into a logo competition, so I'm
very pleased with this result, as far as I'm concerned no need for a
logo competition because I simply like it.
I expect a lossless version to be even better than the JPEG one.

Hi Bill- Not your filtering -- it must be the Apache mail servers (?)
It was a .jpg that was attached.
Is there a way to send over email, or do I need to just
throw it on the wiki (or somewhere else)?
Thanks for any pointers.

My email filter "filtered" it. Can you attach it as a .jpeg?
