Apache NetBeans Logo Contest

This is a contest for the Apache NetBeans logo. To submit an entry, attach it to this ticket.

Some "nice to have" features:

• The logo should be approximately square, so that it can be transformed easily into an icon.
• Vectorial formats are preferred but not strictly required.

Some useful links:

• Apache Project logos requirements
• The Apache logos
• Old NetBeans logo, SVG
• Oracle NetBeans logos and splash screens for inspiration.

Additional information inspired by the Apache Incubator logo contest (https://blogs.apache.org/incubator/entry/call-for-entries-apache-incubator):

• Eligibility: The Call is open to all, including individuals (students, amateurs, professionals), and organizations (educational institutions, companies, design firms, etc.).

• Awards/Recognition: As the ASF is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization, there will be no cash award. The winning design will be announced in the Apache NetBeans mailing lists and related social media. The winner has the right to use the basic logo to identify him/her/itself as the logo designer.

• Jurors: as this a community-oriented activity, we will solicit participation and input from the Open Source community at-large. Final jurors will comprise members of the Apache NetBeans Podling Project Management Committee (PPMC).

• Intellectual Property: 1. All submitted work must be original and not based on any pre-existing design. 2. All entries will become the sole property of the ASF and may be displayed publicly on Websites and related promotional materials. 3. The winning entry will be the property of the ASF and may be registered as a trademark of the ASF. Entrant agrees to transfer all rights and title to the ASF.
