Description

On May 3 Susan Cline posted a note to kick start the Derby logo contest:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/db-derby-user/200505.mbox/[e-mail]%3e

If you have a logo to submit, please attach it to this issue. (See http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/db-derby-user/200505.mbox/[e-mail]%3e for the suggestion on using Jira to manage logo submissions.)

When you upload attachments to Jira, you have an option to "Grant license to ASF for inclusion in ASF works (as per the Apache Software License)". The only logos that will be considered are those for which the license has been granted to the ASF. But only grant the license to the ASF if you are entitled to do so. Don't include any elements to which you don't have rights or permission.

Discussions about the logo contest are at [e-mail]. To subscribe to that list, send an empty email to [e-mail]. More information about the Derby mail lists is at http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_mail.html .

[Michael D. Purdue]

Reflects the historical roots of project but still represents a new direction...

[Jean T. Anderson]

Added entry for Michael Purdue's logo; reformatted list in the description field.

[Andrew McIntyre]

Simple Derby logo on the hat theme.

[Andrew McIntyre]

Variation on andrew-derbyhat, simple logo with the hat theme. Raised the 'y' in derby so that the top is aligned with the already raised 'er', making the 'db' embedded. (haha)

[Andrew McIntyre]

Derby logo with a knight-chess-piece theme. Implies strong, flexible, a strategic inside part of an application. included a couple different type options for comparison.

[Andrew McIntyre]

Attaching Derby knight with serif font separately.

[Andrew McIntyre]

Attaching derby knight with sans serif font separately.

[Jean T. Anderson]

Removed Michael Purdue's entry because it includes the IBM Cloudscape logo; added Andrew McIntyre's to the list.

[Scott Allen Abfalter]

With due respect to all entries (I know people took time) I really prefer the feature logo the best. Ties it to Apache and it really looks the snazziest.

[Scott Allen Abfalter]

Er, feather logo. Meant to say feather logo. Let me go find some more Mountain Dew...

[David Van Couvering]

Here is another submission. A very nice high-res combination of the Derby bowler and the Apache feather.

Are we planning to vote on this at some point? Is this something you were planning on doing, Jean, or could anyone do it?

[Jean T. Anderson]

Now that Derby has graduated it really does seem like it's time to vote for a logo. Who wants to call the vote? David? Since you asked? :-)

[Jean T. Anderson]

Added David Van Couvering's entry to list in the description.

[Oyvind Bakksjo]

Maybe someone who's more skilled with graphics than I am can take the hat idea, place all the characters on the same baseline and still make it look like a hat?

My attachment doesn't look much like a hat, it just illustrates what I mean.

[David Van Couvering]

Thanks to Laura Manzanilla ([e-mail]) for this submission. This is intended to be the color version we would show on our website and other environments where a rich pixel count is available.

[David Van Couvering]

Thanks to Laura Manzanilla. This is one option for a black-line version for low-res environments

[David Van Couvering]

Thanks to Laura Manzanilla. A second option for a black-line version for low-res environments

[David Van Couvering]

Thanks to Laura Manzanilla.

[David Van Couvering]

Thanks to Laura Manzanilla. This is a black-outline drawing intended for low-res environments

[David Van Couvering]

Thanks to Laura Manzanilla. This is an outline version that can be used in resolution-impaired environments.

[David Van Couvering]

Thanks to Laura Manzanilla. This is a black-line drawing intended for pixel-challenged environments

[David Van Couvering]

One more from Laura Manzanilla. Another option for the black-line version of the Derby hat

[Roger Dudler]

Logo only (Color variants are possible)

[Roger Dudler]

Website usage (option)

[Jean T. Anderson]

Added wording from http://db.apache.org/derby/logo_contest.html to Jira issue re grant of license to ASF. Also removed the list of contributions from the description -- it was too cluttered and out of date. Would be good to assemble a final list before the vote is called.
