New Thrift logo ideas...

[Chad Walters <ch...@powerset.com>]

One of Powerset's UI designers, Ian Collins (cc'd here) has graciously
volunteered to work on a new logo for Thrift.

If you have any ideas, send them here and cc Ian. If we're lucky, he'll make
a couple logos and we can vote on them.

By way of qualifications... Ian made the HBase logo too:

Haha, yeah I know.

Actually I do have one, but I just happened to be on the wrong computer
at the time. Let that be a testament to my dedication (to something).

Awesome! I came up with a not-so-hot prototype logo that was trying to
incorporate the concept of Thrift as a bridge across languages.

It's here: (the antialiasing is atrocious because I did it myself in
Paint -- sadly not a joke)
http://eff-yeah.com/thrift3.PNG

I'd be equally happy to see the logo taken in a completely idfferent
direction. I've been meaning to find some time to visit the overall
design of our apache page, to make it look more modern and professional,
but probably won't have time for another few weeks , so this is great to
hear.

I would like to put in a plug for retaining some elements of the
Facebook color palette, since it's sort of our roots. #3b5998 is our
core blue, and #d8dfea is a commonly used lighter shade.

Thanks Ian!
