Solr Logo thought
Hola,
Yes, logo, trivial issue (hi Lance). But logos are important, so:
I've cast my vote, but I don't really love even the logo I voted for (#2 -- a little too pale/shinny, not very "bold", so to speak). Lukas (BCCed) did the logo for Mahout. He made a number of variations and was very open to suggestions during the process. I wonder if we could ask him to give Solr logo a shot if he is not on vacation. Do we have time for another logo, assuming Lukas is willing to contribute?

Hoss,
thanks for comprehensive history tour.
As for the sun motive I like it and think it is a strong one (strong enough
to be the only leading motive in the logo) but I didn't want to insist on it
without knowing that the community calls for it (especially I like to idea
that the logo or favicon should evoke the feeling that you are looking into
the sun).
As for the favicon debate I think that it is a bit overstated (IMHO).
Favicon is important but I don't think that whole logo must be done in a
such way that it can be directly scaled down to favicon size without
significant visual appearance attractivity loss. For example Yahoo! uses
just Y! for favicon, Google uses g (G formerly) and Solr uses just gradient
box (which is a nice idea I think). So for me the *direct compatibility* of
a new logo with favicon is not critical as long as that are other options
for favicon provided.
I already have some ideas about Solr logo and I will try to put drafts down
so that response/critics can be collected. Also it would be interesting if
this could provoke other designers for collaboration (aren't we talking
about open source project? :-)
Regards,
Lukas

Other people who care more about the logo have already given lots of good
feedback on things that should be kept in mind ... the only one i would
question is that the logo need to look good at favicon sizes ... that
tends to be really limiting.
Even if the primary logo doesn't look good at favicon sizes (or in B&W)
the important thing is that a cohesive "brand" can be established arround
a logo (take for instance the apache feather with is long and horizontal,
but can be rotated to fit diagnoally in a square favicon, or the existing
Solr favicon which has thesame color palate as the Solr Logo and evokes
the idea that you are looking into the sun). What a "Powered By" logo
would look like is also something to keep in mind.
: Also I found that the wiki mentions some
: genesis<http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FAQ#head-6d74c2bb4171b0908a4695cbb24acd368a29dc06>of

: is intentional or coincidence.
A little of both.
As yonik mentioned once upon a time...
http://markmail.org/message/sgxaz5nv5mapzw34 ...CNET had an
interal product called "ATOMICS" which stood for "Apache TO MySQL In CNET
Search" (it was a made up acronym to support the fact that people wanted
to be able to say apps that used it were "Atomic powered"). When it was
decided that there should be a Lucene based alternative, someone got the
idea that it should be named "SOLAR" so you could have "Solar Powered"
applications instead of using "ATOMICS" (CNET has a long history of puns
in internal product/project acronyms) and it was backronymed to be
"Searching On Lucene And Resin".
When it cam time to open source "SOLAR" we had to change the name: 1) we
couldn't have an acronym with "Resin" in it because it's a commercial
product (and besides, Solr works just find with any servlet container);
2) there was some legal issue with the word "Solar" ... i don't remember
exactly what, it might have been an existing trademark. I suggested we
just drop the "A" and make the R stand for Replication (or maybe someone
else had already suggested "Solr" and I just suggested what the R could be
for -- i don't remember). Ultimately "Solr" was the final decision,
mainly because it was short, passed legal approval, and allowed us to keep
pronouncing it the same way in conversation -- but we droped the
kludgy acronym.
So yes: the relation tothe sun was intentional, but not for any good
reason. Personally, I've always had a fondness for saying something is
"Solr Powered" when people ask ... so I do think it would be nice to
maintain a Sun motif.

I concur. IMHO you should at least consider how the logo looks like when:
* it's reduced to black & white (e.g. when sending faxes or making copies)
* resized to favicon.ico size,
* resized to an A0 poster size
Many OSS projects for some obscure reason love to use color gradients,
often with broad hue spans - but such gradients rarely look well in
print, exhibiting the banding problem, and they are very easy to corrupt
when transferring images from one media to another. If we absolutely
must use gradients, then at least we should create some logo variants
without gradients - see the SVG file I created in SOLR-84 .
For these reasons I suggest:
* not using gradients
* not using small intricate elements that get lost in logos of small
size - or come up with logos of reduced complexity for smaller size versions
* avoid large splashes of uniform strong color - these look bad on large
logos, like poster-sized.

Indeed - the way I see it, if you don't care either way, then you should be
happy to have a professional looking one :P

If we are going to change what we have, i'd love to see some more options , or
better quality - no offence meant , but those "logos" aren't really a huge
improvement or departure from the current one.
I think whatever we change to we'll be wanting to use it for a long time.

Hi,
Either I didn't get the BCc email or it ended in trash folder (gmail spam

If there is a still room for new log design for Solr and the community is

Just let me know what is the status.

A bit late if you ask me, since a second poll is now running.
Personally, I'd love to have more choice. I followed the logo thread on
Mahout and it would definitely be great if Lukas is interested. I'll go with
whatever you decide.
