Kevin,
no
I don't talk about the JAX-RS logo. There is already a logo
in progress for this project.
What
I propose is that the Jakarta EE community will have a
mascot like a football club (i. e. a "living" creature not
necessarily limited to use in logos).
The
Java community had the Duke for that, but we must not use
the Duke according to the EMO due to legal issues.

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?
