Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.

as part of change of ballista project scope it may make sense to update visual identity of the project. it would be great if we could get new logo which would visually be similar to datafusion logo.

current datafusion logo:

@pinarbayata I wonder if you could help with this? We are looking for a minor variation of the DataFusion logo for the Ballista subproject. Ballista extends DataFusion so that it can scale out to multiple nodes.

I was thinking that perhaps we could have "Apache DataFusion(TM)" on the top line and then "Ballista Distributed Engine" on the bottom line.

[pinarbayata]

Hi @andygrove , I have created two variations. Since combining Apache Datafusion and Ballista Distributed Engine creates a lengthy logo, I placed "distributed engine" on the bottom line. In the second variation, I used Ballista's current logo with Apache Datafusion branding colors. I will revise based on your feedback.

[Dandandan]

That's nice! I think I like the second better.

The 3 or 4 different font sizes feels a bit "chaotic"? Is it possible to create something similar with 2 sizes (perhaps Apache DataFusion in same size)?

[milenkovicm]

i find ballista in the logo a bit too lethal, something someone can get hurt on :)

[andygrove]

Thanks @pinarbayat! I agree with @Dandandan's points about the different font sizes. Also, I prefer the DataFusion graphic element over the Ballista one.

Would it be possible to see a variation of the second version above with DATAFUSION in the same font size as APACHE and with the DataFusion graphic element?

[milenkovicm]

maybe datafusion graphical element in different colour? actually comet has a good one

[pinarbayata]

Sure, how about these designs? Please let me know if there are specific elements or ideas you’d like me to adjust or explore further.

I like them all, but 3 stands out to me the most because of the smaller font for Apache DataFusion.

[liurenjie1024]

+1 for 4

[ozankabak]

I like 4 the most, with 3 trailing

[timsaucer]

I like 3 the most, with 4 next. I do like the color on the logo of #4 more though.

[tbar4]

If we could get the color of 4 on option 3 I think that is the best

[cisaacson]

I like @pinarbayata #4 very much

[alamb]

I also like option 4:

[andygrove]

It looks like it is between 3 & 4.

@pinarbayata would it be possible to see one more variation - option 3 but using the colors from option 4?

[pinarbayata]

Sure, here it is.

[milenkovicm]

I like option 3 even more. Thanks @pinarbayata

@Epicism @liurenjie1024 @ozankabak @cisaacson @tbar4 @alamb would you mind voting on "new 3" vs 4?

3 is amazing and has my vote! So excited for this new logo (whatever one we choose)

[ozankabak]

I still like 4 slightly more, but they are not that different so I'm basically OK with either :)

[andygrove]

I am also fine with either. I think I slightly prefer 4 now.

[fcenedes]

i like (new) 3 !

[timsaucer]

These both look really nice. I have a slight preference for 3.

[Epicism]

New 3 is really nice!
