Groovier logo design proposal
Thank you all for being so kind. Both your criticism and praise have been very
helpful to me.
The main things I personally think are missing after reading through
responses:
* Torx is a brand.
* It's not groovy enough.
* And the old shade of blue was groovier as well.
With this in mind, (and the suggestion that the Apache Software Foundation is
rebranding and it's a possibility that they will request new branding from
their projects) I offer up two new logos in a much groovier (if more vibrant)
shade of blue and _much_ groovier font, including a new, more detailed flower
design. I feel this is a decent replacement, but work can still be done. Let
me know what you think!

P.S. ignore the strange Markdown image below. Kakao adds it to my emails for
the 'read receipt' feature and I'm unsure how to turn it off.

Quite frankly the current logo (Groovy star) does it for me. I might be
convinced to a new logo ti be used for file icon, favicon, etc (green G).
Cheers

I had to save it to disk first, then open it.

Indeed, that was an svg, thanks!
I've always been reluctant to changing the logo or name of the project.
But it's an interesting take and explanation.
Let's see what the ongoing discussions at the ASF give.
Over the years, we've seen both fans of the name and logo, and folks really
against it (saying it's not a serious name for a serious project)
There have been some discussions also around the idea of having a mascot.
People love mascots too :-)

I didn't manage to visualize or open the attached picture.
Anyone else having the same problem?
