logo?
While we are on the topic of a potential 0.1 release...
Lukáš Vlček just contacted me to see if we are still interested in
helping design a logo for Droids.
I like the direction of the existing logo:
http://incubator.apache.org/droids/images/droid-logo.png
but think it could use some help to make it look finished/professional
Lukas suggests we may want to do a logo contest like we did for solr.
I am ambivalent to starting an official contest vs just working on a
logo (no contest). The advantage of a contest is that we could have a
fixed end date and potentially a wider set of designers. I would
happily offer $40.
thoughts?

Totally agree. :)

jeje, would be nice to have it a wee bit more mechanical. I mean for
example the "O" could be a mechanical wheel. Something like
http://www.isplc2006.org/b2b/pics/Gear_Wheel.jpg
I love the "I" and IMO the rest of the letters like this and we have a
fantastic logo.

Awesome Lukas, thank you very much.

I am not a lawyer and we need to discuss this on the legal ml. Sure
there is a certain association between Apache Droids and the starwars
ones. I see an Apache Droid as one functional unit as R2D2 had been in
the comic. A droid is a robot.

Could you combine it? I mean integrate them in the letters (the D would
be another awesome candidate for it) as we have in the "I". But this "I"
could be as well a standalone logo, does that makes sense?
Thank you very much for your work.

Re: logo?
Posted by Lukáš Vlček <lu...@gmail.com>.
Hi,
I was trying to get more education about droids (although I saw some
epizodes of Star Wars on TV I am generally lacking this education).
According to some sources the term Droid is trademark of George Lucas:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Droid#Trademark
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droid
So, may be there should be some credits on the project home page.
Anyway, I will try to put more droids into the logo. Or maybe I will try to
put them aside (like the elephant in Hadoop or the droid(?!) in Nutch is not
directly included in the letters but can be used as a stand-alone entity).

I like them both..... although I once had Star Wars cheques with C3PO and "Tell Jabba I got his money" quote on them, so I'd really love to see some droids there.

I love the "i"
I like Thorstens idea of gears/mechanical reference as well -- not
simply robots.

Hello,
I sketched down first rough idea:
http://picasaweb.google.cz/lh/photo/x6Yj3eVMRGBQpikyIGmjgw
I am not fully satisfied with it (really just a quick draft) but could be a
good starting point.
I tried to keep it far away from Android and Star Wars stuff (do we really
want 70's look&feel - aren't we in the new millenium now?).
Feedback welcome!
Regards,
Lukas

Yes, we need to change this logo ASAP since it may incorporate too much
material which are arguable copyrighted by certain people due to common
perceptions.

jeje, I would love to see the first official logo coming from someone
inside (or "fan of") droids.
If Lukas wants he can provide some logo suggestions but IMO we do not
have sufficient subscriber to call for a context. We will credit his
work on our webpage if we accept it.
