Logo?
Hello Quickstep-pers: I think it would be good to have a logo for the project. I created three simple ones for us to consider.
Ideally a logo is distinctive, renders well (so needs to be simple), and reflects the project theme. As many of you may recall, when we started this project, we had a simple theme (reflected in its name): making hardware and software dance to the same rhythm.
I never got the grade I wanted in my art class, so none of these may work. But would love to get input on these designs, or ideas for better designs.
Cheers,
Jignesh

This is an interesting idea Julian. I tried to do something with the Basilisk lizard, but drawing that clipart is getting well beyond my clipart generating skills :-( Ok — so my art teacher was right :-)
Cheers,
Jignesh

Word art + cute animal mascot has worked well for a lot of Apache projects.
This guy (a Basilisk lizard) seems appropriate:
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PgSvN70lJ6w/hqdefault.jpg
The swoop of his tail could be incorporated into the flourish of the
capital 'Q'.

Great to hear from our resident marketing guru. Awesome suggestion Greg!
Here is another design. It has the logo and the word art with the full system name in it. Comments Greg? I may have misunderstood what you were suggesting.
Powerpoint is also attached if someone is feeling adventurous. Note to see the whole image, you will have to zoom out in Powerpoint.

Cool logos Jignesh!
Personally I'm a fan of word art that says what the brand is, so that
everyone will know without requiring much education.
So I would consider "Quickstep" in the logo. You can also choose an icon
to be part, or not.
Having branded 3 Apache projects now, I will tell you that you don't need
to put "Apache" in the name.
