Apache Storm Logo Contest

Apache Storm is a platform for distributed, real-time computation that has been undergoing incubation at Apache since September 18, 2013. You can contribute by helping establish the Apache Storm brand by submitting a proposal for the Apache Storm logo.

Your proposal will be published on the Apache Storm project website next to the other proposals. On Wednesday, April 30, 2014 the community will choose the new logo through a vote on the Apache Storm Mailing List. If more than 10 proposals are received, voting will take place in two rounds, with the first round selecting 10 proposals to move to round two.

The winning artist will be credited on the Apache Storm website as having designed the logo, and may include a link to her/his website or blog. Prizes for the winner(s) are currently TBD.

GUIDELINES

The logo should meet the following requirements:

  • Include 2 versions of the logo: a rectangular layout (full brand) and a square layout (icon, stand-alone logo)
  • Be scalable up or down (hi-res raster, or vector)
  • Translate to a 2-color representation (black/white, 2 greys, etc.)
  • Able to be inverted if running on a dark background
  • Comply with the Apache branding requirements

Optional, but nice to have:

  • Icons representing Apache Storm components (suitable for use in diagrams, presentations, etc.):
    • Spouts
    • Bolts
    • Streams
    • Trident
    • Functions/Filters

Note: The winning design as accepted by popular vote will be treated as a proposal that can be modified and iterated upon to reach its final form.

There is no limit on the number of entries per individual.
