Re: The new Apache NuttX Logo
I wanted to revive this discussion. As I stated before, I and a friend of
mine (a graphical artist.) will start working on this. But,
- What's the deadline for this? (A deadline is a powerful force for
motivation.)
- We are planning to come up with a logo with a mascot. As stated above, a
mascot should convey how we feel about this RTOS. So, may I ask for you
guys to share your opinions on NuttX? How do you feel and what do you think
about NuttX? Why do you use it? Which property of it makes it a useful tool
for you? If you had to describe it with two or three words, which words
would you choose? I appreciate your opinions in advance.
Thanks.
BR,
Erdem

When we talk about logos and mascots, we also need to be concerned about
infringing on trademarks. When this gets down to a few candidates we
will probably need to do some investigation to make sure that we do have
the rights to use the mascot.

Hi liked the Puffin and the Flying Bee Hummingbird ideas.
The Puffin are really cute animal and will be a great mascot. And the
Flying Bee Hummingbird pass the idea of a tiny animal and freedom.

Hi,
What about a Flying Bee Hummingbird,
- being lite while following all the standard of a bird, he is a create following god's standard of a specific class.
- being tiny but doing her bug-killing job quite well, ( I don't hate Atmel Studio logo, I like it )
-flying bird means freedom, following standard does not mean giving up freedom...
- precise / deterministic ( real time ), she stays in front of flowers, moves and stay once more, she just do it.
...
I think it's quite close to the soul of NuttX ?

Hi, I like the mascot idea, and all the animals proposed. But I liked

Somehow they "match" some of the ideas of NuttX: hermit crabs are quite

No. Not really. :) I also have something in my mind that is similar to

These cute creatures live pretty much everywhere around the world. (With a

Might it be a good fit for NuttX?

I once was told that it was Linus Torvalds who insisted on the Pengquin
mascot. My favorit animal, my "totem animal" is turtle. Unfortunately,
a turtle is not a good representation for a real time operating system!
Unless it were a Mutant Ninja turtle ;)

NuttX was created in Costa Rica so an animal from Costa Rica does not
seem in appropriate. Here the most beloved animals are (1) the
rainforest frogs, the red-eyed rain forest frog in particular:
https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/content/dam/kids/photos/animals/Amphibians/Q-Z/red-eyed-tree-frog-on-leaves-3-2.ngsversion.1568211399457.adapt.1900.1.jpg
, (2) the toucan:
http://www.pacifico-costarica.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/live-belize-keel-billed-toucan-national-bird.jpg,
and (2) the three-toed sloth. The slot is, again, not an appropriate
image since it implies slow and lazy.

I like Puffins. They also share the habitat with Penguins which is a
good thing.
I think of all of those, however, the red-eyed rainforest frog appeals
to me most. He is already a caricature of himself.

We can use the words (or rather, the properties) that define NuttX:
small footprint, determinism, standard compliance.

Maybe we should then consider an animal from Antarctica, or one that's
known to have a species there, to at least have a mascot from that
continent.
Maybe puffins? [1] They are small, fast and can live in both sea and land.
They also to some extent, and with some imagination, resemble little
penguins, which may also convey the "think tiny Linux" motto.

Thank you, Nathan. I appreciate your valuable comments.

Since we have the support of a graphics expert (for a limited time), plenty
of logo alternatives can be created. Having discussions and getting more
feedback are the keys.
In the end, having a beautiful looking logo that depicts NuttX and its
community is possible. But to achieve this, we need to hear more from the
community. Otherwise, we, the two of us, try to come up with something that
possibly goes nowhere.
>>>

We call it a contest or not. A deadline (maybe not that strict) might
motivate people to go into action. As you stated above, finding a team of
volunteer judges is also crucial. Otherwise, my gut feeling tells me that
everything stays the same. I am not saying that the current logo is bad,
but NuttX deserves a better logo to increase the visibility of the project.
To the community: Anybody else wants to be a volunteer on these efforts?
BR,
Erdem

Feel free to propose a logo anytime!
Previously there was a discussion about having some sort of logo contest.
If we go that route, we need a team of volunteers from the community who
wish to administer the contest and be the judges (or choose judges).
But, we don't have to have a contest. If someone proposes a logo and the
community likes it, then we can just vote to adopt it.
If we have a contest, it needs a deadline.
If we don't have a contest and someone wants to propose a new logo, then
the deadline is: do it ASAP so that someone else won't beat you to it!!
I'm okay with either path, contest or not. More below...
- We are planning to come up with a logo with a mascot. As stated above, a

I think NuttX is a very friendly community and I enjoy contributing here.
I use NuttX because of its commitment to standards support and runs on many
MCU types from different vendors, so you don't have to rewrite all your
code when you switch MCU vendors. You can choose the best MCU for each
project.
NuttX is a very international project. The sun never sets on NuttX
developers. We are on every continent (except perhaps Antarctica). So if
the mascot is an animal, I think we don't want something indigenous to only
one place. But I don't know what to suggest here...
Those are my thoughts for now.
Thanks for reviving this conversation!
Cheers,
Nathan
