New logo
Vote: https://99designs.com/contests/poll/rqcgif
We asked for something “mathy” and asked for no elephant and rider. We have the rest of the week to tweak so leave comments about what you like or would like to change.
We don’t have to pick one of these, so if you hate them all, make that known too.

Unfortunately the rules of 99designs require super fast responses from us; they have their own schedule based rules. I dropped the contest because 2 of the 4 people responding that day were against continuing and we were only on the first phase of the design.
Sorry if others wanted to continue but I think 99designs just doesn’t fit the ASF collaboration style.
We are revamping the website so it would have been nice to update the logo but we’ll have to use a more relaxed collaboration method and/or service.
Does anyone know of a designer that wants to donate some work that would have a fair amount of visibility?

+1 to continue to work on logo. Something without the blue man or elephant is good idea. Prefer not all blue logo.
On designs:
My favorites two from the second batch (both are blue & yellow)
BEST for me is one with interlocking thin squares and word "Mahout" - MY FAVORITE
2nd best for me is one with word "Mahout" in black on interlocking solid yellow/blue background
3rd is simple letter M as wireframe
but prefer the diagram be in yellow.
I don't care for the loopy curved logos (sorry Andrew!)
Good luck!!

I think there should be some sort of matrix or vectors or something related to linear algebra in the logo, maybe some math sign or some diagram of cells/arrows, with strict lines/sharp corners/etc. I'm not against cool abstract symbols but maybe we can mix them with more "down to earth" ideas/values of Mahout and link to linear algebra as well. For example, from all the candidates I liked the following a bit more than others, but it still doesn't feel right: https://images-platform.99static.com/6rNmpsFUUSTG00YPR845lALA2NI=/filters:quality(100)/99designs-contests-attachments/84/84070/attachment_84070656

Subject: Re: New logo
It also bugs me when I can't suggest any alternatives, yet don't like the ones in front of me...
I became aware of a symbol a week or so ago, and it keeps coming back to me.
The Enso.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ens%C5%8D
Things I like about it:
(all from wikipedia, since the only thing I knew about this symbol prior is that someone I met had a tattoo of it).
It represents (among a few other things) enlightenment.
^^ This resonated with the 'alternate definition of mahout' from Hebrew- which may be something akin to essence or truth.
It is a circle- which plays to the Samsara theme.
It is very expressive, a simple one or two brush stroke circle which symbolizes several large concepts and things about the creator, expressive like our DSL (I feel gross comparing such a symbol to a Scala DSL, but I'm spit balling here, please forgive me- I am not so expressive).
"Once the *ensō* is drawn, one does not change it. It evidences the character of its creator and the context of its creation in a brief, contiguous period of time." Which reminds me of the DRMs
In closed form it represents something akin to Plato's perfection- which a little more wiki surfing tells me is the idea that no one can create a perfect circle because a circle is a collection of infinite points and how could ever be sure that you have arranged each one properly, yet such things must exist, or what blueprint would a creator of circles be striving for. This, by-the-by reminds me of stochastic approaches to solving problems, and really statistics / "machine-learning" in general, in that we can't find perfect solutions, yet we believe solutions exist and serve as our blueprint.
Finally, I like that it is simple.
Things I don't like about it:
Lucent Technologies used it back in the 90s, however they used a very specific red one, and this isn't a deal breaker for me.
Other thoughts:
Based on the tattoo I saw- one could make an Enso using old mahout color palatte if one were to dab their brush in the appropriate colors. This could also be represented in any single color. (Not sure what that does to our TM, is it ok if we just keep slapping TMs on the side of it? If that is the case is there any reason we must have a single Enso?)
So there is something to throw in the pot that is a little more grown up than my runner up favorites (honey badger, blueman riding bomb waving cowboy hat, blueman riding lighting bolt into a squirrel covered in water, etc).
Again, only know what wiki has told me, so if anyone is more familiar with this symbol (like was it used as a logo by some horrible dictator which carried out terrible attrocities?) or just general comments.

Re: New logo
Posted by Trevor Grant <tr...@gmail.com>.
Thanks Scott,
You are correct- in fact we're going even further now, that you can do
native optimization regardless of the architecture with native-solvers.
Do you or anyone more familiar with the history of the website know
anything about the origins/uses of this:

It seems to be a green mahout logo.
Also Scott, or anyone lurking who may be able to help. As part of the
website reboot I've included a "history" page and would really apppreciate
some help capturing that from first person sources if possible. Ive put in

Re: New logo
Posted by Trevor Grant <tr...@gmail.com>.
Thanks Scott,
You are correct- in fact we're going even further now, that you can do
native optimization regardless of the architecture with native-solvers.
Do you or anyone more familiar with the history of the website know
anything about the origins/uses of this:
https://mahout.apache.org/images/Mahout-logo-245x300.png
It seems to be a green mahout logo.
Also Scott, or anyone lurking who may be able to help. As part of the
website reboot I've included a "history" page and would really apppreciate
some help capturing that from first person sources if possible. Ive put in
some headers but those are only directional:

Re: New logo
Posted by scott cote <sc...@gmail.com>.
Trevor et al:
Some ideas to spur you on (and related points):
Mahout is no longer a grab bag of algorithms and routines, but a math language right? You don’t care about the under the cover implementation. Today its Spark with alternative implementations in Flink, etc ….
Don’t know if that is the long term goal still - haven’t kept up - but it seems like you are insulating yourself from the underlying technology.
Math is a universal language. Right?
Tower of Babel is coming to mind ….

Re: New logo
Posted by Trevor Grant <tr...@gmail.com>.
It also bugs me when I can't suggest any alternatives, yet don't like the
ones in front of me...
I became aware of a symbol a week or so ago, and it keeps coming back to
me.
The Enso.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ens%C5%8D
Things I like about it:
(all from wikipedia, since the only thing I knew about this symbol prior is
that someone I met had a tattoo of it).
It represents (among a few other things) enlightenment.
^^ This resonated with the 'alternate definition of mahout' from Hebrew-
which may be something akin to essence or truth.
It is a circle- which plays to the Samsara theme.
It is very expressive, a simple one or two brush stroke circle which
symbolizes several large concepts and things about the creator, expressive
like our DSL (I feel gross comparing such a symbol to a Scala DSL, but I'm
spit balling here, please forgive me- I am not so expressive).
"Once the *ensō* is drawn, one does not change it. It evidences the
character of its creator and the context of its creation in a brief,
contiguous period of time." Which reminds me of the DRMs
In closed form it represents something akin to Plato's perfection- which a
little more wiki surfing tells me is the idea that no one can create a
perfect circle because a circle is a collection of infinite points and how
could ever be sure that you have arranged each one properly, yet such
things must exist, or what blueprint would a creator of circles be striving
for. This, by-the-by reminds me of stochastic approaches to solving
problems, and really statistics / "machine-learning" in general, in that we
can't find perfect solutions, yet we believe solutions exist and serve as
our blueprint.
Finally, I like that it is simple.
Things I don't like about it:
Lucent Technologies used it back in the 90s, however they used a very
specific red one, and this isn't a deal breaker for me.
Other thoughts:
Based on the tattoo I saw- one could make an Enso using old mahout color
palatte if one were to dab their brush in the appropriate colors. This
could also be represented in any single color. (Not sure what that does to
our TM, is it ok if we just keep slapping TMs on the side of it? If that is
the case is there any reason we must have a single Enso?)
So there is something to throw in the pot that is a little more grown up
than my runner up favorites (honey badger, blueman riding bomb waving
cowboy hat, blueman riding lighting bolt into a squirrel covered in water,
etc).
Again, only know what wiki has told me, so if anyone is more familiar with
this symbol (like was it used as a logo by some horrible dictator which
carried out terrible attrocities?) or just general comments.

I didn't mean to veto-
I thought we were on release rules. (at least three positives and more
positives than negatives).
If we're treating this as code modification (any -1 stops it dead) then I'm
somewhere in the ball park of -.75.

Re: New logo

I'll revise to -1. Given blue man v. all the others, I'd be indifferent.
None of the new possibilities give me enough hope of something worth
displacing blue man (dated though he may be, has good recognition).
^^ Assuming it take 3 votes to pass either way?

Re: New logo
Posted by Trevor Grant <tr...@gmail.com>.
It also bugs me when I can't suggest any alternatives, yet don't like the
ones in front of me...
I became aware of a symbol a week or so ago, and it keeps coming back to
me.
The Enso.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ens%C5%8D
Things I like about it:
(all from wikipedia, since the only thing I knew about this symbol prior is
that someone I met had a tattoo of it).
It represents (among a few other things) enlightenment.
^^ This resonated with the 'alternate definition of mahout' from Hebrew-
which may be something akin to essence or truth.
It is a circle- which plays to the Samsara theme.
It is very expressive, a simple one or two brush stroke circle which
symbolizes several large concepts and things about the creator, expressive
like our DSL (I feel gross comparing such a symbol to a Scala DSL, but I'm
spit balling here, please forgive me- I am not so expressive).
"Once the *ensō* is drawn, one does not change it. It evidences the
character of its creator and the context of its creation in a brief,
contiguous period of time." Which reminds me of the DRMs
In closed form it represents something akin to Plato's perfection- which a
little more wiki surfing tells me is the idea that no one can create a
perfect circle because a circle is a collection of infinite points and how
could ever be sure that you have arranged each one properly, yet such
things must exist, or what blueprint would a creator of circles be striving
for. This, by-the-by reminds me of stochastic approaches to solving
problems, and really statistics / "machine-learning" in general, in that we
can't find perfect solutions, yet we believe solutions exist and serve as
our blueprint.
Finally, I like that it is simple.
Things I don't like about it:
Lucent Technologies used it back in the 90s, however they used a very
specific red one, and this isn't a deal breaker for me.
Other thoughts:
Based on the tattoo I saw- one could make an Enso using old mahout color
palatte if one were to dab their brush in the appropriate colors. This
could also be represented in any single color. (Not sure what that does to
our TM, is it ok if we just keep slapping TMs on the side of it? If that is
the case is there any reason we must have a single Enso?)
So there is something to throw in the pot that is a little more grown up
than my runner up favorites (honey badger, blueman riding bomb waving
cowboy hat, blueman riding lighting bolt into a squirrel covered in water,
etc).
Again, only know what wiki has told me, so if anyone is more familiar with
this symbol (like was it used as a logo by some horrible dictator which
carried out terrible attrocities?) or just general comments.

I don't have any constructive input at all. None of the proposals showed
any spark (to me).
I hate it when I can't suggest a better path and I hate negative feedback.
But there it is.

Yes, -1 means you hate them all or think the designers are not worth paying. We have to pay to continue, I’ll foot the bill (donations appreciated) but don’t want to unless people think it will lead to something. For me there are a couple I wouldn’t mind seeing on the web site or swag and yes we do have time to try something completely different, and the designers will be more willing since there is a guaranteed payout.

Yes, -1 means you hate them all or think the designers are not worth paying. We have to pay to continue, I’ll foot the bill (donations appreciated) but don’t want to unless people think it will lead to something. For me there are a couple I wouldn’t mind seeing on the web site or swag and yes we do have time to try something completely different, and the designers will be more willing since there is a guaranteed payout.

I don't love any of them enough to +1, I don't hate them all enough to -1
Most of them remind me of some spin on Apache Apex, Python, Numpy (a Python
Library), or IBM's DSX. However, I realize a big part of that is the
colors chosen.
#143 is my favorite (possibly because it reminds me of none of the above).
But possibly if this goes to next round we can have them adjust hues /
colors.

We can treat this like a release vote, if anyone hates all these and doesn’t want to continue with shortlisted designers for 3 more days (the next step) vote -1 and say if your vote is binding (your are a PMC member)
Otherwise all are welcome to rate everything on the polls below.
In this case you have 24 hours to vote
Here’s my +1 to continue refining.
