Accumulo Powered By Logo
I was a looking at the new Accumulo powered logo [1] and thought that just
an A[2] may be better. Any other thoughts on how to improve this?
Someone mentioned that just the A[2] isn't as informative in the case where
someone is completely unfamiliar w/ Accumulo.

I don't know what is meant by "official logo", but if we're referring to
trademarks, one could argue (successfully?) that the 'a' by itself, in that
specific style, is a trademark, just like the full logo we use on the page,
especially since we use the 'a' by itself in the monitor page's "favicon".

ok. In that case the a by itself may be a better choice w/ for the Powered
By logo for now.

I like the one with just the 'a', but I think we could make ~50% bigger.

I would argue that the "a" logo is one of our official logos. It is in use
as the favicon of the Accumulo monitor page, and on our Twitter account.

One mitigating factor, is that if anyone used the logo on a web site I
think they would normally make the image link to the Accumulo web site.
This would give some context.
I suppose the biggest problem is that its not the official logo of
Accumulo. Many logos completely out of context convey no information (like
hadoop's elephant). Since the 'a' by itself is not the official logo, we
can not really use it.

Another alternative would be to developer our own powered by logo that
works well with our logo. Personally, I am not really in favor of this
option though. Just trying to think of what our options are.

I think a logo that's more friendly to place in a circle would be useful.
The Accumulo logo is very squared off.

Yea, as an outside observer, I would have no idea what "Apache A" is, nor
any idea how to get more information. Maybe we just need a different logo,
altogether, given the context of putting it in the PBA circle.
