Logo Proposition for VelocityTools
Hello All,
I entered the Google Highly Open Participation Contest for the Velocity
Tools logo.
Here is my proposition so far:
[image: ApacheVelocityTools.png picture by shadowpwner]
In case the image doesn't show:
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd53/shadowpwner/ApacheVelocityTools.png
Please note this will not be the final draft, but only something to start us
off with.
Please give helpful comments and suggestions, to improve my work. (Example:
Too simple, colors don't match layout, etc.)
Regards,
Edward

Hi Claude,
Thanks for your suggestion. However, my harddrive died and I am unable to
change the logo until I find my old photoshop CD, which might take some time
XD.
I'm going to email the dev for voting on which logo looks the best. If more
people like the design that you like, I'll recreate it.
Regards,
Edward

Some more -subjetive- feeback :
I really prefer the T of the first version - much softer and lighter.
And colors were good. Sthing very heavy in the second proposal, whereas
the first one recalls me of sthing inbetween of a conceptual
contemporary art artefact and a glass of wine... necessarily
sympatico... subjective, I told you... what about working around the
first proposal in the way I suggest here (only poorly crafted by means
of ugly cuts and pastes from you image):

i actually like these both pretty well. i'd be hard pressed to pick.
thanks for trimming some of that whitespace. :) how's this, i'm not
sure what Chris Townsen's feedback was, but i think you should either:
a) pick one of the two color ones above and call that your submission
b) or if you are having a hard time deciding, ask for people on the
dev@velocity.apache.org list to vote between them.
whichever way, i think we're probably about ready to wrap this up.

Another updated version, I think this version looks more like a shield now,
rather a tongue.
Black and White Version:
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd53/shadowpwner/ApacheVelocityTools3BW.png
Solid Color Version:
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd53/shadowpwner/ApacheVelocityTools3Solid.png
And one with gradient:
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd53/shadowpwner/ApacheVelocityTools3Gradient.png
I'll make an example on how it'll fit the website as soon as I'm done with
my design, if its okay. :)

The colors mesh perfectly now. :) I also like the different font

Yeah, though my first thought was that it looked like a shield, which
is a bit more noble than a tongue. :) I wonder if straightening out
the wings of the V would help...

Cool, though i'd be curious to see how well the details compress also.
And there still seems like more whitespace than necessary on the

Some more -subjetive- feeback :
I really prefer the T of the first version - much softer and lighter.
And colors were good. Sthing very heavy in the second proposal, whereas
the first one recalls me of sthing inbetween of a conceptual
contemporary art artefact and a glass of wine... necessarily
sympatico... subjective, I told you... what about working around the
first proposal in the way I suggest here (only poorly crafted by means
of ugly cuts and pastes from you image):

Hi,
Thanks for giving me feedback. Heres an updated version:
[image: ApacheVelocityTools2.png picture by shadowpwner]
and a link for those who can't see it:
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd53/shadowpwner/ApacheVelocityTools2.png
I tried to make the T look more like a T, but now to me it looks like a
tongue :P (See the resemblance?)
Also, here it is with the current template:
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd53/shadowpwner/VeltoolsNewLogoPS2.png
The logo will probably be 50% of the current size, I enlarged it so you
could see the details.
Regards,
Edward

Re: Logo Proposition for VelocityTools

Hi,
Thanks for giving me feedback. Heres an updated version:
[image: ApacheVelocityTools2.png picture by shadowpwner]
and a link for those who can't see it:

I tried to make the T look more like a T, but now to me it looks like a
tongue :P (See the resemblance?)
Also, here it is with the current template:

The logo will probably be 50% of the current size, I enlarged it so you
could see the details.
Regards,
Edward

Hey Edward,
That's a pretty good start, though i confess that it took me a second
to realize that the symbol was a V with a T inset. The T is
particularly hard to recognize. Still, the symbol looks a lot
snazzier than the current meager wrench (no offense, if you're still
out there Tim Colson :). I do think the color scheme could use some
adjustment to fit better, as it clashes a bit right now. I attached a
screenshot of this draft logo in the velocitytools docs to show that.
I think that's it for stylistic feedback. I'm not really the best at
that. Functionally, the logo will need to be smaller and could
probably stand to have some of the surrounding whitespace reduced to
make better use of its space.
Thanks for working on this! I'm excited to have a nice logo for once! :)
peace,
nathan

Hey Edward,
That's a pretty good start, though i confess that it took me a second
to realize that the symbol was a V with a T inset. The T is
particularly hard to recognize. Still, the symbol looks a lot
snazzier than the current meager wrench (no offense, if you're still
out there Tim Colson :). I do think the color scheme could use some
adjustment to fit better, as it clashes a bit right now. I attached a
screenshot of this draft logo in the velocitytools docs to show that.
I think that's it for stylistic feedback. I'm not really the best at
that. Functionally, the logo will need to be smaller and could
probably stand to have some of the surrounding whitespace reduced to
make better use of its space.
Thanks for working on this! I'm excited to have a nice logo for once! :)
peace,
