Rafik, thanks so much for taking such an active interest in the project
and spending some of your free time on these logo treatments.

When thinking about using either of the logos that you proposed - I
believe that there is a less than optimal use of space that may make the
logo difficult to place on the site.  On the other treatment, the use of
the feather is a little bit more inline with other Apache project, but
the rearrangement of the text changes some of the connotation.

Just my two cents and thanks again for contributing.

Cheers,
Tim

Hi,
One more with the feather on top! Also, in the other images I sent earlier - The idea is to use the feather to signify the arm of
the letter "b"; so we would have the "O" in white and the surrounding green circle for the letter "b". Maybe the feather should be
in green too or the logo should be in red.

  Hello Jacques,
  I am new to OFBIZ - Well sort of, I've been looking at it and studying it for over 1 year now... I would love to get actively
involved soon! I am sending you my impression of what I believe the incubator logo should artistically look like ( just a minor
rearrangment that I hope you like!!).
  Good Luck.

Thanks Rafik for your ideas,

I agree with Tim. Most of the time in Apache projects the Apache feather is not used in the ways you propose.
Anyway your logos are now available for everyone who prefers them.

I was thinking of leaving them up there, but maybe because of this we  
better not. We spent quite a bit of time as a community a few months  
ago coming to the current logos including feedback, voting, looking  
at other options, etc. I really don't want to open that up again  
because there really are nearly infinite combinations of possible  
logos and now that we have something updated we should stick with  
that for a while and put our efforts in other places where they are  
more critical at the moment.

This is nothing personal Rafik, and for me the issue is not whether  
or not these proposed logos are good or bad, the issue is that we've  
already gone through this and made a decision and I don't think we  
should re-open that. So, Rafik, thank you for getting involved and I  
hope you'll continue to stay involved on other issues!

So, to avoid any misunderstanding that these might be official logos  
for OFBiz I'll go ahead and remove these from the issue.
