Aoo logo draft
Howdy,
Well, given the vote on a name and after reading through the thread on
branding it sounded like a good moment to put a (interim maybe) logo
proposal together.
Put a couple of hours to same this evening and uploaded where I stopped,
to the wiki:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOOLogo+proposal
Comments, suggestions, thoughts - all welcomed.
Figured this is a good place also for others to upload ideas.
Thanks,
//drew

That looks cool. Would we be allowed to use the little feather (as on the
http://apache.org main page) under the word Apache? Gull ==> Feather seems
like a natural tie-in.

I really like gradient 2!
Like Terry suggested - maybe we should have a variation with the feather below the Apache instead of the incubator.
Thanks!

I like the logo without any reference to incubating or incubator. The incubator status can be mentioned separately.
It occurs to me that the Apache feather could be used as background.

Hi Drew, Thanks for putting these together. I like them.
A quick comment: Our website branding has been "Apache OpenOffice
(incubating)" rather than 'Incubator" as you have it.
Or maybe it makes sense to not mention that at all in the logo, but
have the website text and disclaimer (and the product text in the
about box) take care of that disclaimer. Then we can reuse the logo
unchanged after we graduate.

Maybe some subset of these standard sizes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_banner#Standard_sizes
A logo for our website is one use, but I could imagine variations for
things like:
1) Profile image for project-controlled social media. These tend to be square.
2) A "Powered By Apache OpenOffice" or similar logo for apps build on top of AOO
See: http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs.html#poweredby
3) A banner that friends of the project can use on their blogs or
websites, in the side panel, to link to the AOO website.

Eric is right however, first we need to define a colour pallet, font face,
bugs and general style. Define also dimensions and proportions and white
space for the various use cases. (print, web, promotional gear etc) This
should all be laid out in a style guide. Any fonts used should be available
under appropriate licenses as well.

hmm, my take on the conversation was that there was a user for a graphic
specific to the project and not necessarily to the product, so that is
what was in my head when prompted.
So with specifics to the graphic I whipped up, one thing I'm not
satisfied with is the color change to the text 'Open' I'll work on that
later today.
In general, I believe you are absolutely correct this project would
benefit from some 'real' designer(s) getting involved. (maybe this will

I'd suggest, with view to minimal changes when/if OpenOffice moves out of incubation, that the incubator text be left unemphasised, so that simply omitting it would leave the logo usable and only subtly changed. Also, could you brood on a blue fill for the panel, or part thereof, to maintain a stronger link with the older pre-Apache logo?
These are merely suggestions - no need to reply to them; having worked all my life with artists I know that they often need to brood.

I like the idea. It is a bit distracting that the "pache" does not match
the weight of the "A" and the "Office".
How does it look if that line is all set in the same weight?
I made some quick adjustments, after feeding the dog, to the svg file
and generated a couple of example png's from it - wasn't sure how
Confluence handles versions for files - so uploaded new files to the
wiki page.
Here is an example png files (300 x 150 px) to match the base image size
used for the current logo on the wiki
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/27832565/alphabold_300x150px.png
with the following changes:
The capital letters are now set to font M+ 1c (more elongated)
All characters in Apache are bold
The word Incubator is also M+ 1c font & bold
Changed color space on inkscape project
- not sure that helped the color, so will come back to that later this
afternoon/evening
I did leave the 'pen' in Open as normal (not bold) text - I this makes
the overall look feel lighter ( more _open :0 )..while the gulls work to
keep the eye focused.
OK - off to real work things for now.

Hi Peter,
The thought of coloring only the 'A' in Apache or maybe the 'A' and the
word incubator, with the feather color gradient (or as close as I could
get).
Not sure I'd be the right guy to try and draw a mascot. Might be fun to
try though.
...but not tonight (hmm this morning)

The name changed (stupid decision)
Now the logo ?
So our ennemies (some TDF /LO people) will say : hey look
OpenOffice.org is dead.
And they will be right.

I think this looks fine as is -- and thank you -- but I also would like to
take a look with the "pen" in Open being the same weight as the other
letters.
Thanks for doing this...

Hello,
I do not think that to be a criticism. Thanks Drew.
At first glance, the "Office" word does not look coherent. Remember that
"ffi" is a standard ligature and it might be applied at small and
moderate font sizes (i.e. excluding huge banners), if present in the font
being used.
Besides, "pen" in "Open" looks too subtle compared to "O".
Thank You,
Jan Je/lowicki

Hi Drew;
I thought about something similar but I was not brave
enough to put it together ;). Thanks!!
This is typically "bikeshed" material:
1) Since the "ff"s are together and the "i" has an
additional space it actually looks like it says
"Off ice".
2)I would prefer "Apache" in the Upper left corner,
but still not touching the Seagulls.
3) I think the blue should be darker.
4) I think we should include the M+ font in
OpenOffice
5) I think I criticize too much and that's easy
when I don't really do the work ;).
Thanks again!
Pedro.
