[PROPOSAL] Storm Logo Contest
I’d like to propose we hold a design contest for a storm logo.
Below is the proposed markdown for a page on the storm website outlining the logistics, rules, etc. Start date would be the day of publishing.
I’m thinking a 2 week time frame would be long enough, but I’m open to changing that.
Once published, we’d want the community to help get the word out (tweet, blog, etc.) so any potentially interested professional designers hear about the contest.
Let me know your thoughts so we can get the ball rolling.
- Taylor
----------------------------BEGIN MARKDOWN----------------------------
#Apache Storm Branding Intitiative
Apache Storm is a platform for distributed, real-time computation that has
been undergoing incubation at Apache since September 18, 2013. You can
contribute by helping establish the Storm brand by submitting a proposal
for the Apache Storm logo.
Your proposal will be published on the [Storm project website](http://storm.incubator.apache.org)
next to the other proposals. On [end date] the community will choose
the new logo through a vote on the [Apache Storm Mailing List](http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-storm-dev/).
If more than 10 proposals are received, voting will take place in two rounds,
with the first round selecting 10 proposals to move to round two.
##GUIDELINES
The logo should meet the following requirements:
* Include 2 versions of the logo: a rectangular layout (full brand) and a square layout (icon, stand-alone logo)
* Be scalable up or down (hi-res raster, or vector)
* Translate to a 2-color representation (black/white, 2 greys, etc.)
* Able to be inverted if displayed on a dark background
* Comply with the [Apache branding requirements](http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/)
Optional, but nice to have:
* Icons representing storm components (suitable for use in diagrams, presentations, etc.):
* Spouts
* Bolts
* Streams
* Trident
* Functions/Filters
Note: The winning design as accepted by popular vote will be treated as a
proposal that can be modified and iterated upon to reach its final form.
##INSPIRATION
While designing the logo, keep in mind what describes Storm:
* Distributed Computation
* High Performance
* Fault Tolerance
* Community Driven
##DEADLINE
The contest will be open for 2 weeks beginning [start date].
##HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
Send to the [Apache Storm Mailing List](mailto:dev@storm.incubator.apache.org) links to:
* A PNG version of the logo (and it's scalable variations)
* A ZIP file with all assets
* (Optional) A link to a blog post, etc. describing the proposal
Alternatively, contributors can mail the above to the [contest coordinator](mailto:ptgoetz@apache.org)
to have them forwarded to the mailing list.
Contributors may also publicise their proposal by tweeting
links to a proposal with the hashtag #stormlogocontest
##LICENSE
The authors of the selected Apache Storm logo(s) will be required to donate them to
the Apache Storm project and complete and [Apache Individual
Contributor License Agreement(ICLA)](http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt)

Storm logo contest is a fun idea. In Hadoop mailing lists, some of the most
community engagement was when we such contexts :)

Any other thoughts on this?

One thing I forgot was a section on attribution saying that the winner would receive credit for the logo on the storm website linked to their website, blog, etc.
It would be nice if we could offer a prize of some sort. If anyone has any ideas in that respect, I’d like to hear it.

I wouldn’t think so. The more to select from the better.

This sounds awesome; will there be a limit on the number of entries per
