Description

I wouldn't mind something that's wider than it is tall, and a little more subtle. I like that one :) http://eclipsehowl.wordpress.com/2014/04/21/happy-easter-with-egglipse Wonder if 1/ others like it 2/ we could actually create a complete incubator logo out of it (I guess we just want to add "INCUBATOR" somewhere?) Created attachment 242163 [details] Eclipse logo: Eclipse marble morphed to egg (In reply to Benjamin Cabé from comment #2) Sure. See attached SVG. :-) I'll admit that I'm a little tired of the egg. I'm thinking of something more mundane, like the new logo with the word "incubating" underneath.

"Mundane" sounds boring. How about that (see attachement)? (In reply to Holger Voormann from comment #5) > "Mundane" sounds boring. Maybe I should have used the words "lower profile" or "not an egg". > How about that (see attachement)? I love it! If only... Even if Wikimedia (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/meta/4/48/Incubator_logo.png) and Apache (http://incubator.apache.org/images/apache-incubator-logo.png) use an egg as symbol for the incubator, too, I also do not like the egg because "incubator" will be associated with an egg but an egg will not necessarily be associated with "incubator". I would prefer a symbol that will be associated with the controlled/protected starting/beginning phase of a project: a) growing seed, sapling (maybe with an hand that holds it): similar to http://innovation.london.edu/userfiles/Images/incubator-logo.png or http://oasisincsanctuary.com/resources/Logo/Oasis_INC/4.Oasis%20Logo%20-%20incubator.jpg PRO: visualization of growth/development b) launching rocket: similar to http://www.learnquebec.ca/export/sites/learn/en/content/mels/goal/images/Incubator_logo.jpg or http://www.goshen.org/content_th_big/PAGE38_LaunchPad_Logo.jpg PRO: fits in well with the existing Eclipse logo (In reply to Holger Voormann from comment #7) > I would prefer a symbol that will be associated with the > controlled/protected starting/beginning phase of a project: > > a) growing seed, sapling (maybe with an hand that holds it): similar to > http://innovation.london.edu/userfiles/Images/incubator-logo.png or > http://oasisincsanctuary.com/resources/Logo/Oasis_INC/4.Oasis%20Logo%20- > %20incubator.jpg > PRO: visualization of growth/development I like this idea very much. > b) launching rocket: similar to > http://www.learnquebec.ca/export/sites/learn/en/content/mels/goal/images/ > Incubator_logo.jpg or > http://www.goshen.org/content_th_big/PAGE38_LaunchPad_Logo.jpg > PRO: fits in well with the existing Eclipse logo Also good; I like the idea of a rocket on the launchpad.

FWIW, I don't get the rocket analogy to incubation? I can see the seedling analogy. What about a heat lamp shining on the eclipse sphere with the word incubation. FWIW, I don't mind the initial easter egg. (In reply to Ian Skerrett from comment #12) > FWIW, I don't mind the initial easter egg. I'll admit that it's growing on me. (In reply to Wayne Beaton from comment #13) > I'll admit that it's growing on me. I guess that's the point, right? This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.

The container in which the image will be in is 190px wide so the image doesn't need to be bigger than this. And the containers are most often 100px high so I think if the image could be around 190px X 100px that would be great. If we could get the original file (psd or ai) that would be great. If we need to make small changes it will be easier this way. Let me know if you need more details. Thanks!

Having an svg version of the logo would also be great. Eventually we might display incubation status in the feature/plugin dialog of the eclipse info somewhen in the future. Then we would need other icon formats which could easily be generated from svg.

Created attachment 268962 [details] Eclipse Incubator Design Ideas Please find attached the first round of design concepts for the Eclipse Incubator logo. I'm fond of the 2nd option, it's modern, unique and creative. It's also different from what our competitors are doing. I.e. Apache: Egg with logo - http://incubator.apache.org/ Please provide your feedback, and let me know if you'd like to have any changes made.

My favorites are #1 and #4. I also think that #2 does not match our current look and feel. Hi Kat, I agree with Chris, I think #1 is so far the best option. We often make use of FontAwesome for icons and this option is more inlined with their styles and ours as well. It would also be interesting to see how it looks in purple instead of Orange. This logo will be used on pages like projects.eclipse.org and it already uses a lot of orange. Also I think it would be good to see how the logos (not only #1) in a webpage (for example: projects.eclipse.org) Thanks! FWIW, my preference is #4. I think it is clean, simple and similar to the existing logo so people will know what it means. Thanks for the feedback! I will make a few modifications to the designs, in particular a #1 variation in purple. Wayne would like to schedule a meeting next week to discuss the options and direction we want to move in. More details to follow. Cheers, Kat Kat was almost done but I think we need to brief and include Stephanie on this discussion to finalize the details. Wayne, should we schedule a meeting with Stephanie to discuss the current state of this new design? We should also discuss what we need to do to get this finalized. (In reply to Christopher Guindon from comment #31) > Wayne, should we schedule a meeting with Stephanie to discuss the current > state of this new design? Please do. Let's be sure to report the results of that conversation on this record. Any updates about a new logo for incubation?

My smug response notwithstanding, I believe that since this is a derivative of the Eclipse Foundation logo, we should get formal approval from the EMO(ED).

I posted a patch to update the logo! Attaching a screenshot! Hello, First, I love the new incubation logo. Nice work. I just spotted, there is a least one place where the new incubation logo is not used. It's ok for the project page https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.lsp4e but not for search results : https://projects.eclipse.org/?combine=lsp4e I'm not sure where the source code of the website is available to propose a gerrit patch.
