Re: Request: Help designing a 'powered by' logo for CloudStack

Hi,

Here is my version:
 - SVG format as you requested
 - Only two colors, exactly the same as for the original logo. I prefer few
colors for such pictures
 - Unfortunately the monkey could not make it, the whole thing needs to fit
into a very small area and the monkey would be too little detail (the
monkey is übercool anyway)
 - if no monkey, then cloud
 - only "powered by cloudstack", no extra text because it make make
difficult to read in such a small place
 - see attached file :)

I will give it a try, but we can not have all and everything in 120x80
pixels. I have a not quite complete, reverse-engineered svg monkey, feel
free to reuse it.

I'm going to miss the monkey. Are you sure there's not any way to work it

Re: Request: Help designing a 'powered by' logo for CloudStack

Posted by Laszlo Hornyak <la...@gmail.com>.
Hi,

Thank you all for the feedback!
- stretching: yes, that is true and it does not look good
- apache: If I have to put the apache there, then I will have to completely
rearrange the design. Are you sure it is a must-have? Wikipedia displays a
logo without the "apache".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_CloudStack
- etc: the "powered by" font type does not go well with the "cloudstack"

I go back to my drawing board and see what I can do for v0.0.2

Steve. Agreed

Mr monkey has his place for some, but I don't think every organisation would use him

Seems like the simple answer is to one one "powered by" logo with Monkey and one sans-Monkey.  That way the person/entity choosing to display it on their site could choose the image they want to portray.

Re: Request: Help designing a 'powered by' logo for CloudStack

Posted by Daan Hoogland <da...@gmail.com>.

Not to throw a wrench in things, but I got into work this morning and saw my badge from the CloudStack conference in San Jose earlier this year. It's the face of a monkey made up of a bunch of text from some CloudStack documentation. I thought something to that effect with the words "powered", "by", "apache", and "cloudstack" scattered (but obvious) throughout the logo. What are everyone's thoughts on this?? I'm not asking to change things, I'm just brainstorming here.

Kirk,

Not to stress my dislike of our fellow primates; I would like some
more emphasis on the cloud then that. The fellow reminds me just a tad
to much of greasemonkey.

Re: Request: Help designing a 'powered by' logo for CloudStack

Posted by Kirk Jantzer <ki...@gmail.com>.
Not to throw a wrench in things, but I got into work this morning and saw
my badge from the CloudStack conference in San Jose earlier this year. It's
the face of a monkey made up of a bunch of text from some CloudStack
documentation. I thought something to that effect with the words "powered",
"by", "apache", and "cloudstack" scattered (but obvious) throughout the
logo. What are everyone's thoughts on this?? I'm not asking to change
things, I'm just brainstorming here.

Re: Request: Help designing a 'powered by' logo for CloudStack

Posted by Kirk Jantzer <ki...@gmail.com>.
Not to throw a wrench in things, but I got into work this morning and saw
my badge from the CloudStack conference in San Jose earlier this year. It's
the face of a monkey made up of a bunch of text from some CloudStack
documentation. I thought something to that effect with the words "powered",
"by", "apache", and "cloudstack" scattered (but obvious) throughout the
logo. What are everyone's thoughts on this?? I'm not asking to change
things, I'm just brainstorming here.

I want to avoid having an overlay on the image, so I will return to my
previous design and fix that. Guys if you want the monkey, now you have a
very easy job :-)

Yes Kirk, that would help. That or a scale down of the cloud and
monkey in comparison to the letters. (I have no problem with any of
our fellow primates)

RE: Request: Help designing a 'powered by' logo for CloudStack

Posted by Karen Vuong <ka...@citrix.com>.
Hi all, 

I've created several versions of the "Powered By" Apache CloudStack logo. 

Horizontal: http://i.imgur.com/z0qdR2g.jpg 

Horizontal with Cloud Monkey: http://i.imgur.com/Cosyd8o.jpg 

Square: http://i.imgur.com/L3iR4Uu.jpg 

Square with Border: http://i.imgur.com/EjAnLtG.jpg

Square with Cloud Monkey: http://i.imgur.com/LmsSgxT.jpg 

Square with Border & Cloud Monkey: http://i.imgur.com/YwRukuN.jpg

I actually came across an open source font called "Generic" that is very similar to the commercial font that was used previously. I used Generic to create the logos above. I'd suggest updating the original Apache CloudStack logo by replacing it with Generic. 

Link to font: http://openfontlibrary.org/en/font/generic 
License: SIL Open Font License (OFL) http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=OFL 

If everyone likes the "Powered By" logos that I've created, then I could help create other versions with text additions such as, "Supporters of". If you have a text addition in mind, please feel free to suggest it. I'd be happy to help compile a list of text additions and I can request for approval by PMC.
 
I'd suggest cleaning up the "Graphics and Resources" page [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Graphics+and+Resources] and adding the new "Powered By" logos there along with a link to a policy page. As Shane had mentioned, "Must have a policy page on the project's website noting where their Powered By logo may be used by third parties without permission.  Final review must include VP Brand or VP Legal before calling policy official."

I can provide the vector files, RGB#s and PMS colors as well. 

Any thoughts/suggestions or are welcome!

Thanks,

Karen

We had done these for CouchDB ages ago: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/couchdb/supplement/support-logo/ - I'm not sure if we had any trademarks counsel back then, but I just wanted to show them as examples.

We don't do a very good job of advertising them though :)

We had done these for CouchDB ages ago: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/couchdb/supplement/support-logo/ — I’m not sure if we had any trademarks counsel back then, but I just wanted to show them as examples.

We don’t do a very good job of advertising them though :)

Re: Request: Help designing a 'powered by' logo for CloudStack

Posted by Shane Curcuru <as...@shanecurcuru.org>.
Excellent!  I've been waiting for some projects to actually work on 
Powered By logos, so this is great - and will take a little thought.

Short answer: yes, as long as the powered by variant of the logo makes 
sense from the ways that you want third parties to use it, then make a 
proposal and we'll approve it.  I'm confident marketing@cloudstack can 
figure out the right kind of design/text you need.

----

Fundamentally, the "Powered By" concept is similar to Intel Inside(r) - 
that is, an official project logo that is clearly related to, but not 
the same as the underlying Apache product's logo.  This Powered By logo 
would be licensed very liberally for easy re-use by all sorts of 
organizations using that Apache product.

The only reason we call it Powered By is because the original concept 
came from the Apache HTTP Server project long, long ago.

So let's think about fundamentals (which obviously should get posted 
under /foundation/marks):

- Design process is run by the PMC who may accept any design that the 
ASF can have trademark rights to and follows applicable policies.

- Any Powered By logo is a trademark of the ASF, held on behalf of the 
project.  Graphic artists must be willing to give the ASF trademark 
rights and potentially copyright to the logo (we are happy to give a 
license back to artist and give them credit, but to preserve trademark 
rights we may need copyright assignment).

- Must be different than the official product logo.

- Must be clearly listed as an official Powered By logo for the project.

- Should be related to the official product logo.

- Should not include the feather unless the official product logo 
already has one.  (comments on this one?)

- Should suggest the operational relationship to where the logo is used: 
that is, the graphical logo or additional text displayed on it should 
suggest the relationship between the Apache product and the third party 
places where the logo is used.  (Powered By... the Apache HTTP Server; 
plugin For Apache CloudStack, etc.)

- May include text to make the relationship clear, but does not need to.

- "Powered By" and "For" are preapproved as text additions if desired. 
Other text additions may be requested by any PMC for Brand approval.  If 
you have some sort of phrase that makes sense for your product and the 
ways that your product is used (plugins, frameworks, consultants, 
trainers, whatever), let trademarks@ know and we'll approve it.

- Must not imply organizational endorsement or affiliation from the ASF 
or the Apache project.  Must not imply a controlling relationship, or 
other influence that may detract from the Apache project's independent 
PMC governance model.

- Must have a policy page on the project's website noting where their 
Powered By logo may be used by third parties without permission.  Final 
review must include VP Brand or VP Legal before calling policy official.

- Must not include the word "Sponsor" without approval from VP, 
Fundraising.  That is, ensure this doesn't improperly imply a 
sponsorship or funding relationship that conflicts or is confusingly 
similar to http://www.apache.org/foundation/sponsorship.html

What did I miss?  Anything seem off or needing changes?  Obviously, this 
needs to be cleaned up and include some rationale before posting on the 
a.o site.

- Shane

trademarks@ folks (Shane in particular) - have any thoughts about the point
raised by Giles below?  From a trademark protection perspective, is it fair
to consider other wording beyond "powered by"?

RE: Request: Help designing a 'powered by' logo for CloudStack

Posted by Giles Sirett <gi...@shapeblue.com>.
Karen and I had a chat about this at collab
As well as "powered by", are we able to do a "proud supporters of" logo ?

My logic is that many SP's don't want to actually say their infa is powered by any particular software (it would be great if they did, but being pragmatic here) however they may go for this altenrtive.

Also, "powered by" limits the logo to SP's - consultancies & SI's aren't really powered by ACS

This *may* be something that needs to be discussed at a trademark level as, I guess, some folks may feel that the word "supporter" may imply a relationship with the project

Thoughts, comments, ideas  ??


Kind Regards

I dont have AI editor, but my 2 cents:

powered by - would probably look better lower cased, bold and a smaller in size - but more widely spaced . Perhaps you can match the font similar to apachecloudstack.

another way to do this is to look at header image:

http://www.cloudsand.com/content/

I just realized my image is missing word Apache, though i do have a feather. Need to redo it. :(( maybe i'll post some samples.

I'm bumping this thread as I don't think we got a final answer (I don't see one)

Arjan - according to the .ai files on [1] the font is Avenir Std Heavy [2], which is not an open source font and therefore I think we should consider changing (Maybe we have to as an ASF project?).

Attaching my attempt: uses "official" fonts, current colors, is readable down to about 150px width on my screen (in branding guidelines we should probably prescribe minimum logo size...) 3 color (you could print as 2 color with halftones)

We should provide at least 2 versions of the logo - a horizontal and square version for various uses. I attempted a quick try at doing a "knockout" version (black&white for 1 color printing) but the dual tones on the monkey means that'll take a little more time.

Anyways, give me thoughts, and let's get this one wrapped up!

Hi,

Here is my version:

- Only two colors, exactly the same as for the original logo. I
prefer

few
colors for such pictures
- Unfortunately the monkey could not make it, the whole thing needs
to

fit

Hi,

I like the cloud idea/placement. (And totally get that it's going to
be

hard to see the monkey in such a small space. Even though he's so
cute.)


Two things -

1) The lettering in the word "cloudstack" looks stretched as compared
with the normal look of the font - I'm not sure if that's
intentional, not

intentional, something really weird in how it's rendering on my
screen... :)

2) I realize the problem around "no extra text" but ... do we want to

be added in... legal, etc)?

As David said earlier in the thread, we do not want the feather in the logo.

I tinkered with spreading out “powered by” along with lower case - personally I didn’t like the look. As you increase character spacing you decrease readability.

Re: Request: Help designing a 'powered by' logo for CloudStack

Posted by Arjan Eriks <er...@gmail.com>.
+1 for the comments.

For the design itself, i think we should work with a designer. Yes it 
costs money, but they can make a proper style guide. I say we make this 
a first tangible item for the Apache/CloudStack/Whatever Foundation.

Hope i did not step on any designer toes with this opinion. I appreciate 
the efforts that go into visualizing great stuff.

Thanks, Arjan

Re: Request: Help designing a 'powered by' logo for CloudStack

Posted by John Kinsella <jl...@stratosec.co>.
+1 exactly where I was going with it. Then we need on a page on the website, not in the wiki.

If you give the guidelines for the most popular use cases you won’t have people bastardizing the logos.

Hi,

Here is my version:
- SVG format as you requested
- Only two colors, exactly the same as for the original logo. I
prefer
few
colors for such pictures
- Unfortunately the monkey could not make it, the whole thing needs
to
fit
into a very small area and the monkey would be too little detail (the
monkey is übercool anyway)
- if no monkey, then cloud
- only "powered by cloudstack", no extra text because it make make
difficult to read in such a small place
- see attached file :)

Hi,

I like the cloud idea/placement. (And totally get that it's going to
be
hard to see the monkey in such a small space. Even though he's so
cute.)

Two things -

1) The lettering in the word "cloudstack" looks stretched as compared
with the normal look of the font - I'm not sure if that's
intentional, not
intentional, something really weird in how it's rendering on my
screen... :)
2) I realize the problem around "no extra text" but ... do we want to
add in the word apache? (or conversely, is there any reason why it
shouldn't
be added in... legal, etc)?

Re: Request: Help designing a 'powered by' logo for CloudStack

Posted by John Kinsella <jl...@stratosec.co>.
(This is a marketing/branding thing, so I’ve dropped dev@)

I’m bumping this thread as I don’t think we got a final answer (I don’t see one)

Arjan - according to the .ai files on [1] the font is Avenir Std Heavy [2], which is not an open source font and therefore I think we should consider changing (Maybe we have to as an ASF project?).

Attaching my attempt: uses “official” fonts, current colors, is readable down to about 150px width on my screen (in branding guidelines we should probably prescribe minimum logo size…) 3 color (you could print as 2 color with halftones)

We should provide at least 2 versions of the logo - a horizontal and square version for various uses. I attempted a quick try at doing a “knockout” version (black&white for 1 color printing) but the dual tones on the monkey means that’ll take a little more time.

Anyways, give me thoughts, and let’s get this one wrapped up!

Hi,

Sending version 0.0.3:
- Complete monkey added
- "Apache" added
- Clouds more like the original logo
This also comes with some cons:
- 4 colors
- lots of text, at least compared to 0.0.1
but if you look at it scaled down to very small, it is still readable,
even
the monkey is so-so.

Just in case someone feels like experimenting, I also attached the up to
date version of my reverse engineered cloudstack monkey with cloud.

steroidmonkey is just a bit different from the poweredbycloudstack svg,
spot
the difference :-)

Your feedback is welcome!

Thank you,

Hi,

Here is my version:
- SVG format as you requested
- Only two colors, exactly the same as for the original logo. I
prefer
few
colors for such pictures
- Unfortunately the monkey could not make it, the whole thing needs
to
fit
into a very small area and the monkey would be too little detail (the
monkey is übercool anyway)
- if no monkey, then cloud
- only "powered by cloudstack", no extra text because it make make
difficult to read in such a small place
- see attached file :)

Hi,

I like the cloud idea/placement. (And totally get that it's going to
be
hard to see the monkey in such a small space. Even though he's so
cute.)

Two things -

1) The lettering in the word "cloudstack" looks stretched as compared
with the normal look of the font - I'm not sure if that's
intentional, not
intentional, something really weird in how it's rendering on my
screen... :)
2) I realize the problem around "no extra text" but ... do we want to
add in the word apache? (or conversely, is there any reason why it
shouldn't
be added in... legal, etc)?

Hi folks:

If you happen to have some graphical design talent (I have none) I

CloudStack needs a 'powered by' logo that is easy to consume, and
is
also attractive.

A couple examples of powered by logos:

http://tomcat.apache.org/images/tomcat-power.gif
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/80899/mahout-logo-poweredby-100.png?version=1&modificationDate=1312880703000

A couple of constraints:
* Please don't use the Apache feather. (we could, but lets not; it
will make life simpler)
* Please try and produce a vector format as source (this allows us
to
scale/etc)
* Because this will become a trademark (which is vastly different
that
copyright) - we will likely need some explicit email agreement
around
trademarks rights for the image. (I promise, it isn't as scary as
that
sentence makes it out to be.)

Anyone interested?

Hi Guys,

I want to develop out a few variations this weekend and upload.
Can someone let me know the font used by cloudstack ? and does the same
need to be the same font?

I will try to come up with multiple variations and on multiple sizes.


Cheers,
Shashi

thoughts going.

Kirk, I think i know what you mean. Do you have a visual of it? Might 
seem like a good idea, although i wonder how it lookslike in 150px width.

Re: Request: Help designing a 'powered by' logo for CloudStack

Posted by Arjan Eriks <er...@gmail.com>.
Kirk e.a.,

I made an attempt to see if that could work out Kirk, see attached (only
for reference purposes, this is not design stuff). Please check. I sized it
small.

But in general you see two types of usage of "Powered by" logos. 1) as an
extra glued to the bottom of a different companies logo and 2) as some sort
of seal (like intel inside). Shouldnt we make both versions?

Then as a general feedback on the submission (and mine attempt as well). I
do feel that we should make this first time right. So lets please keep
iterating and ask for more submissions. Our image is important.

Thanks, A

Daan - agreed about the balance, however disagree about the monkey. I think
if the text was a layer over the cloud, it might be more balanced, like
this: http://i.imgur.com/WTNAIoG.png (not the same font or text, but the
idea)

I actually don't like the cute creature in there. from a graphical
stance; it ruins the balance in the logo, hanging out on the top
right. maybe because of the form factor. maybe you can try one without
the monkey and one cut in which the centre of the picture is between
the base of the monkey tail and the start of the cloud.

sorry to nag,
Daan

I actually don't like the cute creature in there. from a graphical
stance; it ruins the balance in the logo, hanging out on the top
right. maybe because of the form factor. maybe you can try one without
the monkey and one cut in which the centre of the picture is between
the base of the monkey tail and the start of the cloud.

sorry to nag,

Re: Request: Help designing a 'powered by' logo for CloudStack

Hi,

Sending version 0.0.3:
- Complete monkey added
- "Apache" added
- Clouds more like the original logo
This also comes with some cons:
- 4 colors
- lots of text, at least compared to 0.0.1
but if you look at it scaled down to very small, it is still readable, even
the monkey is so-so.

Just in case someone feels like experimenting, I also attached the up to
date version of my reverse engineered cloudstack monkey with cloud.

steroidmonkey is just a bit different from the poweredbycloudstack svg,
spot the difference :-)

Your feedback is welcome!

Thank you,
Laszlo

I like,
2. But I agree with Rbyn about the word apache. I should be in there.
I think it must even.
1. It looks streched on my preview in finder as well

I like,
2. But I agree with Rbyn about the word apache. I should be in there.
I think it must even.
1. It looks streched on my preview in finder as well

Hi,

I like the cloud idea/placement. (And totally get that it's going to be hard to see the monkey in such a small space. Even though he's so cute.)

Two things -

1) The lettering in the word "cloudstack" looks stretched as compared with the normal look of the font - I'm not sure if that's intentional, not intentional, something really weird in how it's rendering on my screen... :)
2) I realize the problem around "no extra text" but ... do we want to add in the word apache? (or conversely, is there any reason why it shouldn't be added in... legal, etc)?
