[Discuss] Beam mascot
Hi everybody,
I think the idea of creating a Beam mascot has been brought up a couple
times here in the past, but I would like us to go through with it this time
if we are all in agreement:)
We can brainstorm in this thread what the mascot should be given Beam’s
characteristics and principles. What do you all think?
For example, I am proposing a beaver as a mascot, because:
1. Beavers build dams out of logs for streams
2. The name is close to Beam
3. And with the right imagination, you can make a really cute beaver :D
https://imgur.com/gallery/RLo05M9
WDYT? If you don’t like the beaver, what are the other options that you
think could be appropriate? I would like to invite others to propose ideas
and get the discussions going.
Thanks,
Aizhamal

Well then...
I think this thread has gone on for some time and seems to have settled
down. We probably have enough candidates. Gris summarized the status
earlier but I think it will help to do something slightly more formal. I
think I'll try moving on with what I suggested. I will start a slightly
more formal thread to identify the favorite. This will be more clear than a
mixed discussion with preferences. If people do not like the style of the
thread I will start, we can figure out another way.

That last sketch of a cuttlefish with a hat is really really good. I vote
for that.

I do think the PMC needs to shepherd this. I would suggest starting with an
approval vote [1] for animal (no plant ideas?) and then an ASF-style vote
to record the validated result. From there, we can go through more standard
design process.

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot
Posted by Maximilian Michels <mx...@apache.org>.
It's great we're having this discussion and we came up with a lot of
great ideas through it. However, it is unclear how we proceed from here.
Certainly, we can't let designers work with an open-ended discussion on
the type of mascot.
Personally, I'm fine with _any_ kind of mascot, as long as it is made by
a decent designer. The respectable designer I'm talking to was very
generous to donate these sketches for free. I don't think that this is
to be expected at all. Coming back to the original idea of hiring
multiple designers, I don't see how we will pay those designers to all
come up with a logo, unless we all donate money.
The sketches I've sent might not look like much because there is still a
decent process involved in coming up with the final logo which looks
good in different sizes, possibly with many iterations. So far I've
tried to incorporate as many of the suggestions here, but for the sake
of protecting the designer, I think I'll have to stop doing that. It
simply won't work.
How to proceed from here? I think _any_ professionally executed logo
will do, this is really more about the community agreeing for the
greater good. Ultimately, I think the PMC might have to decide on how to
proceed here.
Cheers,
Max

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot
Posted by Robert Bradshaw <ro...@google.com>.
#37 from the sketches was the cuttlefish, which would put it at (with
4 votes) the most popular so far. I do like the firefly too.

Hi everyone, so exciting to see this convo taking off!
I loved Alex's firefly! -- it can have so many cool variations, and as a stuffed animal is very original.
Other ideas I had are a caterpillar because it looks like a data pipeline, lol or the beaver!
Feedback on the current sketches.
- They resemble a lot either the Octocat or Totoro [1]
- I'd like to see something that is completely new and original, pancakes from gRPC is an example[2]
- Something more caricaturesque is better, since we can dress it up and modify it
To move forward, it seems that the animals that were winners in this thread are:
Beaver (3)
Firefly (3)
Lemur or votes on sketches (3)
Cuttlefish (2)
Hedgehog (1)
Salmon (1)
So let's focus the design proposals on the three winners: beaver, firefly and lemur.
I'd like to see more options on beavers and fireflies, the current sketch options I think are based on the cuttlefish and the lemur (?)
I think it's a good idea to get sketches from multiple designers, since like someone else pointed out, we'll get variations based on their personal styles, and someone else mentioned here that we have teams/companies with designers in their teams, so let's take advantage of that as well :)
I'd suggest to fork the conversation into a call for sketched and we vote on that.

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot
Posted by Jozef Vilcek <jo...@gmail.com>.
Interesting topic :) I kind of liked also Alex's firefly. The impression it
made on me. To drive it further, hands on hips make strong / serious pose,
hovering in the air above all.
I would put logo on the him, to become is torso / body or a dress. Logo
with a big B on it almost looks like superhero dress / cap ( which is
popular tune these "days" :) ).
To summarize, I would love mascot not only looks nice, but be deadly
serious about doing cool stuff and pulling superhero features out of it's
sleeve :D

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot

+1 That would combine two ideas: (1) "Beam" eyes and (2) sea animal.
We could set this as the working idea and build a logo based off that.

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot
Posted by Maximilian Michels <mx...@apache.org>.
More logos :D
(35) - (37), (51), (48), (53) go into the direction of cuttlefish.
From the new ones I like (52) because of the eyes. (53) If we want to
move into the direction of a water animal, the small ones are quite
recognizable. Also, (23) and (36) are kinda cute.
Cheers,
Max

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot
Posted by Robert Bradshaw <ro...@google.com>.
Cuttlefish are cool, but I don't know how recognizable they are, and
they don't scream "fast" or "stream-y" or "parallel processing" to me
(not that that's a requirement...) I like that firefly, nice working
the logo into the trailing beam of light.

Re fish: The authors of the Streaming Systems went with trout, but the book
mentioned a missed opportunity to make their cover a "robot dinosaur with a
Scottish accent." Perhaps that idea is worth revisiting?

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot
Posted by Kenneth Knowles <ke...@apache.org>.
Agree with Aizhamal that it doesn't matter if they are taken if they are
not too close in space to Beam: Apache projects, big data, log processing,
stream processing. Not a legal opinion, but an aesthetic opinion. So I
would keep Lemur as a possibility. Definitely nginx is far away from Beam
so it seems OK as long as the art is different.
Also FWIW there are many kinds of Lemurs, and also related Tarsier, of the
only uncontroversial and non-extinct infraorder within
suborder Strepsirrhini. I think there's enough room for another mascot with
big glowing eyes :-). The difference in the designer's art will be more
significant than the taxonomy.

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot
Posted by Aizhamal Nurmamat kyzy <ai...@apache.org>.
Aww.. that Hoover beaver is cute. But then lemur is also "taken" [1] and
the owl too [2].
Personally, I don't think it matters much which mascots are taken, as long
as the project is not too close in the same space as Beam. Also, it's good
to just get all ideas out. We should still consider hedgehogs. I looked up
fireflies, they don't look nice, but i am not dismissing the idea :/
And thanks for reaching out to designers, Max. To your point:
>how do we arrive at a concrete design
>once we have consensus on the type of mascot?
My thinking is that the designer will come up with few sketches, then we
vote on one here in the dev@ list.

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot

Quick update: The mentioned designer has gotten back to me and offered
to sketch something until the end of the week. I've pointed him to this
thread and the existing logo material:
https://beam.apache.org/community/logos/
[I don't want to interrupt the discussion in any way, I just think
having something concrete will help us to eventually decide what we want.]

How about fireflies in the Beam light rays? ;)

I love the lemur idea because it has almost orange eyes.
Thanks for starting this Aizhamal! I've recently talked to a designer
which is somewhat famous for creating logos. He was inclined to work on
a software project logo. Of course there is a little bit of a price tag
attached, though the quote sounded reasonable.
It raises the general question, how do we arrive at a concrete design
once we have consensus on the type of mascot? I believe there are also
designers working at companies using Beam ;)

Re: [Discuss] Beam mascot

Feels like "Beam" would go well with an animal that has glowing bright eyes
(with beams of light shooting out of them), such as a lemur [1] or an owl.

Yes! Let's have a mascot!
Direct connections often have duplicates. For example in the log processing
space, there is https://www.linkedin.com/in/hooverbeaver
I like a flying squirrel, but Flink already is a squirrel.
Hedgehog? I could not find any source of confusion for this one.
