Re: New logo?

two more that I drew over the holidays:

http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-12.png (in
context:
http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/screenshot-12.png)

http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-13.png (in
context:
http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/screenshot-13.png)

I really would like some contributions from the community rather than just
things that I have sketched...

At present, to my mind, the ones worth consideration are:

http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-3a.png
http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-5.png
http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-7b.png
http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-9.png (note
would need to check if we can use this one)
http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-12.png
http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-13.png

In terms of image rights, these are all sketched by me, in some cases I was
using images or photos that I took myself (3a , 5 and 13). In other cases I
traced photos from the web. -9 is the most problematic, both from the point
of an all black silhouette being used as a logo for another company using
the Maven mark (but not in our context... we'd need to ask permission) but
also being a direct trace of an image on the web... if people really like
-9 then we would need to seek permission for that type of image and perhaps
try and commission somebody to draw a similar silhouette rather than my
direct trace. -12 is a composition including a direct trace of the outline
of a photo of the totem carving of the raven, but the inner detail I drew
myself as a study of the original... so slightly more complex origin...
again, if this type of look is popular we can look into getting the
approval to use the image.

If we can get a few community contributions then I will start a vote
run-off... I don't want to have a run-off with only my contributions as I
just don't think that is the spirit of the community that we are (but hey
if nobody else is willing to try their hand, perhaps we will be reduced to
a run-off of my creations)

Maven is like a village made from tents... you can move from location to
location (project to project) and you bring all the same tents (phases /
conventions as to how to build a project) with you. Because we are an
Apache project we chose a tent that is keeping with the stylings of the
Apache feather logo

There's a post-hoc justification for you ;-)

The best I have come up with for an image as to what Maven does is

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/Tutorial%3A+Maven+in+60+seconds

But that does not a good logo make.

Our current "logo" is just the word "maven" with the 'a' in orange

At least this version, or maven-21 includes the Apache feather... and hints
at us being an Apache project...

*Very* nice work, but...what does this Native Americans theme have to do
with "maven"?  Yes, I know, but people *will* ask.  Especially since
the answer has no connection with what Maven would do for them.

Unless I'm mistaken, the Maven landing page exists to sell Maven, not
the Apache Software Foundation.  A link to the Foundation's landing
page is quite appropriate and should be easy to find, but that's not
why people come to this page.  They come because they've heard
something about Maven and want to know more, or Google gave them a
link when they asked something about software project management or
build tools, or because some other project had a "built with Maven"
link on its page and they're curious.  They'll probably be best
pleased if, at a glance, they can get some notion of what Maven does.

Possibly that message simply isn't very visual, and the best one can
do is to select a (formerly) meaningless but unique mascot or abstract
symbol.  Possibly there is an image that will make people think, "yes!
that is Maven in action."

I'm really not that sort of visual thinker, but images of structure,
assembly, or gathering seem appropriate.  The best(?) I've been able
to imagine is a funnel with classes falling in and a package falling
out.  Or perhaps an assembly line.  (What do classes look like? beats

Here's one that may be a little more logo-ready than the last one I sent.
How can I get it added to the wiki?

Here's a VERY rough draft of a possible logo (I'm sure someone else can make it look more sleek):

http://s21.postimg.org/41q3n4mk7/maven.png

About raven, is already "taken":
http://www.maven.co/

Some "sneaky peaks" for same named (but non related sites) -- just to see what others came up with:
http://www.maven-sf.com/
http://lasp.colorado.edu/home/maven/
http://www.php-maven.org/

And my personal fav:
http://mavenberlin.com/en

Their stylised "M" made out of two triangles is just great.


And then, as I also like abstract things a bit more than explicit drawings representing explicit stuff/beings, I figured what might represent visually Maven (I admit, was inspired with MavenBerlin intersecting triangles, as there, it reflects the intersection of multidisciplinary creativity):
a mountain(s), a twin peak ("M"), you have to climb..... (and everyone finish their story, mountain might be "effort", "knowledge", "sweat" or whatever :D )

And finally, just a quick quick silly draft of logos, two versions.

First, is obviously what maven is <today/> :D

Second is the one with stylized peaks, variations on "M as mountain" idea:D

That is excellent! And gurus (a.k.a. mavens) also like to live on top of
mountains. ;-)

Actually I think the artwork is quite good.  It's the visual language
itself that seems uncertain.  Which points even more strongly to the
need for a graphic designer.

When letting go the idea of an animal, I came up with the following:

Change the V of Maven into a funnel, feeding it with stuff (code,  
resources, etc), resulting in an artifact.
Maybe with an assembly line full of jars below Maven.
It is probably easier to make the input abstract: circles, squares,  
rectangles ...

The background picture can be something what represents Maven project.
The sitting person with a computer might be changed to something like this
(as a vision):
http://www.posterus.sk/burza_prace.png
I can see a flow of phases in life cycle, unique structures and "project" or
POM. Some kind of these words in "white loop" in the picture, so that the
men is pointing to one phase. Perhaps something like this, i guess.

I was quite proud of my teepees, but there was a lot of concern that the
imagery was too native american and that the ASF should try not to lean on
native american imagery for its projects... I hope to be able to use them
for a personal project someday!

What I like the way how you created the title from pictures.
It's a bit crazy picture but still better than a pure picture standing in

Re: New logo?

Posted by Stephen Connolly <st...@gmail.com>.
I think we would have no issue getting a small amount of funding from the
foundation to feed an external logo competition... but I think we would
want to have some scope defined for such a competition... so yeah I see no
issue with using the top 3 as seed for an external logo competition, e.g.
on the site already mentioned on a previous thread... but I think we do
need a spec and part of the point of this discussion is to generate such a
spec.

Re: New logo?

Posted by Adam Retter <ad...@googlemail.com>.
Does the Apache Foundation of any of its members have any money to
engage a graphical designer? I was just thinking that after the
voting, you could get a designer to do a proper job on the logo
(perhaps producing some variations of the voted on design which could
again be voted on further?). I do not mean any offence to everyone
that submitted designs, but clearly we are not professional artists
;-)

Re: New logo?

We are "Apache Maven" so there is always going to be that temptation to
abuse the "Apache" link...

I would like to hear more about your objections.

Keep in mind that ultimately it will come down to a vote...

I'm thinking we have two rounds of voting... the first round to select the
top 3 and the second round to select the winner...

WIth the above scheme I would plan on having a healthy discussion of the
top 3 candidates in case any are deemed inappropriate, i.e. the PMC will
reserve the right to veto any that it deems inappropriate, substituting
with the next most popular.

Then the winner will be an open vote from the 3 finalists...

Or at least that is my plan

So far we have about 8 ideas...

* The moose with the internet in his hand

* The owl

* The assembly line

* The honey badger

* The two yurts in a native american style

* The twin peaks

* The fedora as an M (likely too close to redhat... so not counting for now)

* A simple lettering with a monochrome feather

* A stylized lettering with the feather as a y

If we get to about 15-20 ideas and/or there seems to be a stop to the flow
of new ideas, then I will probably call the first round of voting...

Perhaps Roy's wife's story belongs on the front page of the Maven site.

It pretty clearly lays out the key conversion consideration for new users.

I asked my wife on the drive to the train today what animal she thinks fits Maven.  Her response made me chuckle.

Without hesitation, she said "Honey Badger"

When I asked why, she said that Honey Badgers are part of nature and generally do their thing nicely -- but if you piss it off, things will get really really bad...  She said she had the same experience with Maven.  It works nicely, but if you try to do something really non-standard, you will feel its wrath :)

Heh.

Anyhow, I thought it was funny enough to share - not really a serious consideration to make a Honey Badger our mascot.

One thing that I want to see for Maven 4.0 / model Version 5.0.0 is better
support for arch specific artifacts... which IIRC was one of the main
issues with Maven and other platforms... (besides the "why should I install
this slow JVM on my machine" complaint)

Re: New logo?

Posted by Arnaud Héritier <ah...@gmail.com>.
it could be seen also as a coffee machine taking beans in entry to produce
a cup of java
The - is that it is fully java minded while Maven tried to conquer (with
few success) others platforms (C++ ...)
Note : Also the coffee machine can replace some others activities while
maven is building :-)

Way cool; this toy is a nordic classic (in wood). I can see "Jar" & "War"
on the boxes.

http://www.sprell.no/produktbilder/2013/Brio_Putteboks_rød.jpg

For some reason I'm not entirely sure I understand I also enjoy the train:

http://playworldcorp.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/wooden-toys_playworld_corp.jpg

I suppose it's because it's a goods train (not a passenger train), and the
individual carriages contain my jar files...

HAH.  I like that.  It makes me think of the kids toy where you put shapes
into holes.

http://www.toysrus.com/graphics/media/trus/Aplusplus/2012/2501235/MATTEL-25
01235-01.jpg

Each block shape represents a type of output (.war, .jar, .ear, .so, .dll,
.zip, .someotherextensionthatyoudreamup)

Each hole represents a workflow to make that happen.  Ok its a little bit
reverse order, and more like http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/play-doh-12.jpg




Anyhow, I like the "cookie cutter" approach to a logo because it goes with
Kristian's sentiment (which I happen to agree with once I read it).

Perhaps even an actual logo as a set of cookie cutters (kind of like
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41BUOIKf4zL.jpg which is funny
because it has all kinds of animals in it too )

Re: New logo?

Posted by Kristian Rosenvold <kr...@gmail.com>.
I think the association-work around what maven /is/ is a great way to
approach a logo contest elsewhere. I have worked with some great graphic
designers in my time, and the kind input the good ones want are typically
related around your thoughts/feelings around the product rather than which
particular animal you prefer, which is a bit of a secondary kind of input
along with all different kinds of other constraints/ideas (the boss prefers
blue).

When I first encountered maven I had come to the realization that all my
ant projects were basically the same, and that there was no reason for
customizing
what was basically a standard process. So maven gives me associations to a
mass-production line at a factory, rather than a tailor making individual
processes. Furthermore, the lifecycle amplifies the idea of a conveyor-belt
mass-production line; all parts move through the same conveyor belt
process, stopping at
individual stages to get work done. I would almost be willing to think of a
waterfall (Uh-oh...)

So it would appear to me that I'm not thinking of an animal at all !

About raven, is already "taken":
http://www.maven.co/

Some "sneaky peaks" for same named (but non related sites) -- just to see
what others came up with:
http://www.maven-sf.com/
http://lasp.colorado.edu/home/maven/
http://www.php-maven.org/

And my personal fav:
http://mavenberlin.com/en

Their stylised "M" made out of two triangles is just great.


And then, as I also like abstract things a bit more than explicit drawings
representing explicit stuff/beings,
I figured what might represent visually Maven
(I admit, was inspired with MavenBerlin intersecting triangles, as there,
it reflects the intersection of multidisciplinary creativity):
a mountain(s), a twin peak ("M"), you have to climb..... (and everyone
finish their story, mountain might be "effort", "knowledge", "sweat" or
whatever :D )

Something like these
http://www.leelau.net/2005/clemenceau/Miscellanous/traverseduplicatemountainnwview04.jpg
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JFyYp4QeFvU/Td_kvtpZNBI/AAAAAAAAAFk/_axAJllIgF8/s1600/snowcap2.png

And finally, just a quick quick silly draft of logos, two versions.

First, is obviously what maven is <today/> :D

Second is the one with stylized peaks, variations on "M as mountain" idea:D

Good choice. I was hoping someone would find a picture that played off the
"expertise" definition of the word Maven.

The Owl is usually a symbol of wisdom, e.g. the wise owl.

Maven embodies the collective wisdom of how to build software

Hence why I did #5

Good point.  I was associating with the name "Maven", looking for a
symbol of in-depth understanding of a specialized field.

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/maven

So, what does Maven do?  It passes unique source and object code
inputs through a standardized process, guided by an expression of the
relationships among those inputs, to assemble a well-specified
configuration of runnable code.  What does that look like?

Hi all,

All of the logos are OK, but none of them really symbolize anything in
particular about Maven. IMO the best logos encapsulate the purpose of the
project somehow, either overtly, covertly or both.

Here is a related article that discusses some of that:
http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2012/10/the-hidden-meaning-behind-really-good-logos/

Paul Benedict's idea of letting professionals try their hand at it may be
more worthwhile in the long term. Otherwise we might just end up with yet
another software project with a cute animal that has little if anything to
do with the project itself.

Regards,
Curtis

I'm favouring maven-15 here, the maven raven! Ok, it's not a raven, but maybe it should be :) heh.

The bird can quite easily stand alone from the text, and be usable - overlaid, underlaid, watermarked etc better than the others IMHO ( except 14 ).

Well our current "icon" is somebody's arse behind a laptop... Which with a
cleaner site looks a tad odd

With the old header bar it was fine though

I have no issue changing the font or colouring, but I think an actual icon
or emblem is something good to have.

There was some effort to pick a new font, and I would be happy to see
examples with a different font... My typographic skills are not near the
level of my poor sketching skills, so I have been hoping somebody else
could tackle the lettering

Is it me or are a lot of these purely changing the icon, not the "logo".

i.e. is the "logo" inclusive of the "mAven" name ( side question - why is the A always a different colour, historic Ant reference? )

Something in that range would be my reading too. (We might be able to
access foundation funds if we ask the board nicely)

I don't think either of these are requirements, we can have a non-ugly
looking logo... though ugly is in the eye of the beholder ;-)

Am I reading this correctly if it's aboput $130 for a full logo contest
including the rights for use ?

If we can formulate some decent requirement specification, coughing up the
money should be the least of our problems.

Does the feather have to stay in its original shape/form? Is the logo
required to be ugly ?

My suggestion is for someone in the PMC to pay $29 to

show you their logo ideas. Buy the one you like and then donate it to

Okay, so I bit the bullet and tried it. I based my examples on a
Creative Commons image, but it should be fine as long as it is
attributed. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dr_scott/4463167753/sizes/l/

Okay, so I bit the bullet and tried it. I based my examples on a
Creative Commons image, but it should be fine as long as it is
attributed. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dr_scott/4463167753/sizes/l/

Re: New logo?

Posted by Arnaud Héritier <ah...@gmail.com>.
I agreed about the animal/mascot choice and its meaning.
We come back to another thread (on dev ML AFAIR) : what Maven is for you ?
How to describe it (easily) ? What is differentiating it from others tools
like Makefile, ant, gradle, builder ....

Perhaps.  I think it's a cute idea, but I feel that Maven and Ant have
different jobs, so for many it might be puzzling instead.  I think
there'd be quite a number of questions "why's your mascot an anteater,
of all things?"

While some Ant folks might appreciate the tongue-in-cheek nature of an 
anteater logo, I think it be seen by many more folks as unnecessarily 
antagonistic.

Re: New logo?

Posted by Baptiste Mathus <bm...@batmat.net>.
Might be just me, but though I'm not against using a raven, I'd at least
prefer the more friendly 13 one (see
http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/screenshot-13.png).
I'm actually far more liking the friendly teddybear's style of the moose (
http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-3a.png) even if
this animal might be badly connotated (not here in France, I'd say, since
we're not accustomed to seeing them ;-)). The "The Crow" dark style isn't
friendly enough, /me think.

I think this is more due to our lack of graphic design capability than intent :-)

A good designer can take the ideas of being an expert/community and likely come up with something that looks good and has some meaning.

Re: New logo?

Posted by Tim Pizey <ti...@paneris.org>.
I think that the associations of a raven are too dark also
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBmExt184vc

The moose and beaver are also laden.

Maybe this is why Maven has been logo free for so long?
Feels really weird to add a logo to a 13? year old project.

Re: New logo?

Posted by Tim Pizey <ti...@paneris.org>.
I think that the associations of a raven are too dark also
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBmExt184vc

The moose and beaver are also laden.

Maybe this is why Maven has been logo free for so long?
Feels really weird to add a logo to a 13? year old project.

Re: New logo?

Oups, forgot users list.

Might be just me, but though I'm not against using a raven, I'd at least
prefer the more friendly 13 one (see
http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/screenshot-13.png).
I'm actually far more liking the friendly teddybear's style of the moose (
http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-3a.png) even if
this animal might be badly connotated (not here in France, I'd say, since
we're not accustomed to seeing them ;-)). The "The Crow" dark style isn't
friendly enough, /me think.

Might be just me, but though I'm not against using a raven, I'd at least
prefer the more friendly 13 one (see

I'm actually far more liking the friendly teddybear's style of the moose (

this animal might be badly connotated (not here in France, I'd say, since

Re: New logo?

Posted by Stephen Connolly <st...@gmail.com>.
As 9 is particularly problematic I have sketched -14 which is not a direct

maven using a silhouetted raven...
