I thought the plan was to run more of a logo contest?

One more +1 for the eye/sun O. I don't think I thought "eye" when i
saw it, but I think having an eye there is actually a cool little
detail.
I think Shalin should revive his poll with your logo versions once
they are ready.

I like the O, it is both the sun and it looks like an eye which suits
in with the search.
Good stuff.

Hi,
Well, the eye looking O is not intentional. It is more a result of
the
techique I used when doing the initial skatch. Believe it or not
this design
started at magnetic drawing board (http://www.reggies.co.za/nov/nov274.jpg
)
which I use now when playing with my 2 year old daughter. It is an
excellent
piece of hardware and though it lacks in terms of output
resolution and is
not presure sensitive and its undo capatilities are very limitted it
outperforms my A4+ Wacom tablet in terms of bootup time and is
absolutely
*green energy* equipment. But as I mentioned, its resolution is
quite low
and thus the vectorized version is not perfect yet.
Anyway, I think that eye looking O is an interesting observation I
will work
on this because I see that it can be confuzing.
Regards,
Lukas

Nice job Lukas; the professionalism and quality of work is
evident. I like
aspects of the logo, but too am having trouble getting past the
eye-looking
O. Is it intentional (eye:look:search, etc)?

I went through the same thought process - it took a couple
minutes for the
whole thing to grow on me. Perhaps a tweak to the O if your
looking for
some
constructive criticism?
Again though, I really think its an awesome multipurpose logo.
Works well
in color, b/w, large, small, and just the sun part as a facicon/
other.

It's pretty good, for me. My first thought is it is an eye
(the orange
reminds me of eyelashes), and then the second thought is it is
the Sun.
Take
that w/ a grain of salt, though, there's a reason why I do
server-side
code
and not user interfaces and graphic design. :-)

Hi,
Only few responded so far. How we can get more feedback? Do
you think I
should work on the proposal a little bit more and then attach
it to
SOLR-84?

Hi,
My initial draft of Solr logo can be found here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/lukas.vlcek/Solr
The reason why I haven't attached it to SOLR-84 for now is
that this
is
just
draft and not final design (there are a lot of unfinished
details). I
would
like to get some feedback before I spend more time on it.
I had several ideas but in the end I found that the
simplicity works
best.
Simple font, sun motive, just two colors. Should look fine
in both the
large
and small formats. As for the favicon I would use the sun
motive only
-
it
means the O letter with the beams. The logo font still needs
a lot of
small
(but important) touches. For now I would like to get
feedback mostly
about
the basic idea.
Regards,
Lukas

Plenty left, but here is a template to get things started:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/LogoContest
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
