["Christine Poerschke (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9221?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17074518#comment-17074518 ] 

Christine Poerschke commented on LUCENE-9221:
---------------------------------------------

bq. ... A brief description about this logo submission: ...

Thanks [~DHAVER0313] for contributing this!

bq. ... The 'L' becomes a feather/wing that represents speed and quickness while keeping with the feather idea from Apache. ...

bq. ... the suggested color palette.

I wonder if some sort of medium-to-dark green color palette has been considered or might work:
* With the original Logo being light green choosing a deeper green could be interpreted as a nod to tradition and/or continuity and longevity.
* Representation of speed and quickness via the feather/wing could align with green as a representation of efficiency.
  Green in the eco-friendly (data center) energy-saving efficiency sense that is.

bq. ... change the bottom half of the 'wing' into a triangle ... make the negative space an inverted A for Apache.

That sounds like a very neat idea, thanks [~jeremynovey].

> The Lucene logo has served the project well for almost 20 years. However, it does sometimes show its age and misses modern nice-to-haves like invertable or grayscale variants.
>   
>  The PMC would like to have a contest to replace the current logo. This issue will serve as the submission mechanism for that contest. When the submission deadline closes, a community poll will be used to guide the PMC in the decision of which logo to choose. Keeping the current logo will be a possible outcome of this decision, if a majority likes the current logo more than any other proposal.
>   
>  The logo should adhere to the guidelines set forth by Apache for project logos ([https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs#graphics]), specifically that the full project name, "Apache Lucene", must appear in the logo (although the word "Apache" may be in a smaller font than "Lucene").
>   
>  The contest will last approximately one month. The submission deadline is -*Monday, March 16, 2020*- *Monday, April 6, 2020*. Submissions should be attached in a single zip or tar archive, with the filename of the form {{[user]-[proposal number].[extension]}}.
