One of the problems that I see with every

that needs to be considered by the Marketing Committee in

as freedom and we want have a framework for creating new logos
that complement rather than conflict with the Jakarta EE
branding.
I respectfully disagree. The projects should be able to have any
logo they want. The Jakarta EE logo is the only logo that ties them
all together into a platform.
In particular any tying of the logos of the EE4J-hosted reference
implementations to the Jakarta EE logo would give those
implementations a special status over the independent
implementations. I believe that would be unfair to TomEE, Wildfly,
Websphere Liberty, WebLogic, etc.
But please note that this thread has veered off from the original
topic which is whether we want to create a Jakarta EE mascot
distinct from Duke.
Markus,
If you are talking about
replacing the
JAX-RS Mascot and starting a design contest, then this is
a decision left
up to your community. The PMC does not control the
mascot/logos of
an individual project. This is very similar to
MicroProfile. We
have our own brand/logo for MicroProfile, but we didn't
require a blessing
from the Technology PMC. I would assume the same type of
process
would apply to all of the EE4J component projects.
Were you told to ask the
PMC for permission?
Just curious if we're getting different instructions.
Thanks,
Markus!

Design
Contest: Replacement for Duke Mascot
Sent by:
ee4j-pmc-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
Dear PMC,
recently I was told by the EF
that I must
not further use the Duke as a Mascot for any EE4J
projects, as the EF wants
to trademark all logos but the Duke is trademarked by
Oralce.
While I literally hate this
decision, I
have to respect it and find a solution. For marketing
reasons, and just
for fun, having a Mascot would be great.
The only solution I do see is
that we have
to start a Mascot Design Contest. BTW, this time we should
respect all
the critics we earned with the Logo Design Contest: We
need to have clearly
described ALL criteria upfront, give enough time (six
weeks at least),
and publicly announce on the mailing list.
What do you think?
