Description
Nick Boldt
Renaming. We already have a pretty substantial bit of wiki: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Athena_Common_Build http://wiki.eclipse.org/Category:Athena_Common_Build ... and provisioning a website is now part of bug 275529. I’ve been picturing something like a cross between one of Athena’s known symbols [0], [1] and an explosive warning label [2], in that from a simple bit of code we can (explosively?) generate a lot of complexity. Also works with the Athena creation myth, in that she supposedly sprang forth fully formed out of Zeus’ head [3], and we are striving to produce fully formed jars and zips from a simple build config project and sources.

attempt1
...to illustrate Athena as a merger of various small nasty puzzles (cvs, git, signing, ftp, pdebuild, maps, tests, xvfb, ant, bash, etc) into one simple build system
:-)
btw. some good inspiration http://abduzeedo.com/logo-design-z-m (In reply to comment #4) > btw. some good inspiration http://abduzeedo.com/logo-design-z-m I kind of like the ideas in these: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2508/4154405804_3d49370708.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2790/4153644961_f020eb52b5.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2519/4153645277_04c91af6b1.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2609/4153645907_7fcd435046.jpg http://www.abductit.com/files/articles/logo-design-az-b/logo-b-27.jpg Created attachment 162175 [details]

logo 4 from Alain Cloutier
Logo 2 (all of them) look really nice. oh nice indeed. I more like logo 4, because they have nicer fonts (I don't like courier) and would be interested to see it in violet instead of red. Created attachment 162192 [details]
logo 4 from Alain Cloutier, violet
(In reply to comment #14) > Created an attachment (id=162192) [details] > logo 4 from Alain Cloutier, violet I kinda prefer it in red, but only because of the _blood_, sweat, and tears that have gone into this project for me. And purple's just so... done. :) Even WTP is moving away from purple: http://eclipse.org/webtools/ (Also, red fits better w/ the content of my presentation @ EclipseCon on Monday... but you'll just have to come by to know why.) Created attachment 162340 [details]
logo 5 from Alain Cloutier, red
I'm not a graphic designer but the dripping blood on some of the logos doesn't look that professional. (In reply to comment #17) > I'm not a graphic designer but the dripping blood on some of the logos doesn't > look that professional. Yeah, that was a passing joke. Where's your sense of humour? It's M6a season! :P I have an excellent sense of humour but with you Nick I never know if you are joking or not :-) Created attachment 162364 [details]
logo 6 from Alain Cloutier, red version

logo 6 from Alain Cloutier, purple version
Created attachment 162368 [details] logos 1 - 8 selected from the above submissions (In reply to comment #19) > I have an excellent sense of humour but with you Nick I never know if you are > joking or not :-) Assume I'm always joking. Life should be taken with a heaping helping of humour at all times. Since we now have quite the slew of options here, I suppose it's time to vote? I prefer the red variants to the purple ones, but I'll go with majority vote here. :) In order of preference: 4, 3, 2, 1, 6, 7, 5, 8 I definitely like the red. I like the 3/4 perspective ones, but #2 will probably work best at small scales. So... I vote #2. They are all very cool. (In reply to comment #23) > I definitely like the red.

Since I sold my soul to him a long time ago, I'm going with Red. [1] http://wiki.eclipse.org/Image:Psychopath_web_logo.gif My vote goes to #2, i like the red color and the square icon. Awesome logos! I vote #2, too. +1 on the red. I vote for 4 with 2 as a runner-up. Nice work! WONTFIX; Athena has been terminated. |
