logo
Yup on the polish of
#12. I was hoping for something like the link in #13 togeher with #12.
As for fonts, really suggest we stay away from the "fancy"
fonts. They will look dated in 12 months and hopelessly retro in 24.

to have a version that says ‘Built on EclipseRT’.
Just so everyone knows,
we can take elements from any of the concepts and combine them together.
For instance if you like the font in one but the logo in the other, we can work
with that.
For me I like in #18 how
RT stands out but I would prefer a small ‘e’ similar to the
existing Eclipse logo. The icon in #12 is interesting but I agree
with Mark it needs some work graphical. For instance, I don’t think
it would be easy to reproduce on a shirt. I also don’t mind the
icon in #10 and #11.

It would be good to allow the RT graphic to be utilized for sub
projects. Otherwise, sub projects will have to generate there own branding.
What
does the icon in #12 show? Are the grey parts links? It seems to me to be
a combination of 2D and 3D elements, which I don't think looks very polished.
The RT Marketing page (http://wiki.eclipse.org/RT_Marketing_page) does not
explicitly state this intention. It does state the following ...
Eclipse currently has an Eclipse Runtime top-level project and PMC. It is
expected that all projects within this top-level project will us the EclipseRT
brand on their project web site. They will also be encourage to refer to
themselves 'part of EclipseRT'. Eclipse projects, outside of the Eclipse
Runtime PMC, that operate as runtime application frameworks, specifically not
tool frameworks, will be encourage to use the EclipseRT brand.
But this does not seem to give the impression that subprojects can use the
EclispeRT logo as a basis for their own logos. I think it is a fine thing to
add to the wiki as a goal. What do others think?
For the new logo proposals:
I like 12 the best. It seems to convey a sense of modularity to me. I also like
the looks of 10 but I am not sure what the significance of the Saturn looking
planet is. I don't have a big preference on the font used for EclipseRT but I
do think the font selected must make RT stand out. For me it is all about the
graphic and whether it will be a recognizable icon without the words EclipseRT.
For me 12 seems to fit this requirement the best.

I like #12.
Do we envision these logos to be used as a base for subprojects logos? For
example I'd like to have a p2 logo, and I was thinking that rather than
inventing a totalling new thing, I would reuse the drawing part and tack on p2.

Here
are some more options for the EclipseRT logo. I believe this set
looks
a lot more promising.
