logo permission
Hello,
I'm wrapping up work on an Apache OpenOffice extension to add Apache
Groovy as a scripting language to OpenOffice.
The extensions require a small thumbnail image that displays in the
Extension Manager for each installed extension beside the extension
title and description.
I request to use the Groovy star logo for this thumbnail if possible as
Groovy is the whole point of the extension.
Although I'm on the AOO PMC this extension is a personal project for the
time being and I plan on releasing it through our
extensions.openoffice.org site under the Apache license.
I can send a screenshot if you would like to see the intended usage.
I'm subscribed to dev@ or feel free to contact me directly.
Best regards,
Carl Marcum

Putting it like that is actually refreshingly funny ;-)
My 10 cents: If using the more official logo based on a five-pointed
star in the required size does not run into the technical problems I
have (independent of my own like or dislikes of the logo) given, I would
use that, it is most likely the better known one and I don't see that
changing in the near or intermediate future.

I could use either one if the project prefers one over the other.
However I own two shirts with the star logo:)

Still not trolling, even if you keep pounding that :-)
But I have given my arguments and said all I want on this (by now very
off) topic, so I would let it rest there: I have never liked the Groovy
logo, in part due to me associating it with the Soviet Union and left
wing terrorism, but I love Groovy, so peace out G-)

As I said, the essential element here is the "red" and definitely not the
"star".

Hence, we remain puzzled why you're trolling us with any sort of connection
between the Groovy star logo (it's light/grey blue) and the Communist Red
Star.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_star
"A red star, five-pointed and filled (★), is an important symbol that
has often historically been associated with communist ideology,
particularly in combination with the hammer and sickle, but is also used
as a purely socialist symbol in the 21st century."
How do you not know that *puzzled* ?
I agree with the Groovy support, though...

Re: logo permission
Posted by MG <mg...@arscreat.com>.
NEVER ? Not even a little ? Come on...
Socialist/communist red star:
Scale horizontally:
Change fill color, add black outline:
Add font-of-choice groovy text:
That's why I jokingly call it the communist logo.
I personally agree with the recent critique towards the logo looking old
and not entirely professional, but apart from that the fact that it is
quite wide makes it not a good fit with regards to being used as an icon:
It also does not scale well down to small size:
But it was just a suggestion,
Cheers,
mg

I have NEVER considered the Groovy logo to look like the communist star. As
a matter of fact, I find the Groovy Star logo easily recognizable, and in
the given case, I like it over the circled G.

Hi Carl,
This sounds like the kind of use of the Groovy logo that we'd like to
support. Can I ask you to create a Groovy Jira issue and attach a
screenshot.
Thanks, Paul.
