: To me, the release timing doesn't much affect what logo we decided to use or : when to adopt it. Surely the most visible, important location for the logo is : on the website, that we can replace at any time?
Agreed ... the 2 biggest takeaways from the recent interest in redesigning the logo seem to be: 1) we should try to get a wide variety of Logo ideas before making any changes. 2) we shouldn't rush making changes. Speaking of which, if we want to maintain the momentum of interest in this topic, someone (ie: not me) should setup a "LogoContest" wiki page with some of the "goals" discussed in the various threads on solr-user and solr-dev recently, as well as draft up some good guidelines for how we should run the contest ... a google search for "apache logo contest" will turn up some good backround on how this has been done by other projects in the past. (Allthough i think attaching submissions to SOLR-84 makes more sense then having people inline them in the wiki ... Jira has the nice "Grant License" chain of custody) -Hoss
