As discussed off-list with Kai and Henryk, I've drafted a brief for crowd sourcing a logo for Hono. Please see below:
Hono
Description of the organization and its target audience:
Hono is a technology that helps software developers connect billions of “things” to the Cloud and the Internet of Things.
Hono is a software component running in the Cloud, that allows to uniformly and transparently communicate with all sorts of "things" (cars, home automation devices, scientific equipment, …) independently of the language (protocol) they are using, and that is designed to handle millions of messages per second.
The name of the project comes from the Maori language.
"Hono" means "link", "connect" or "united" and thus nicely relates to project Hono's purpose of connecting devices with applications.
The Hono project is part of a larger ecosystem of open-source projects called “
Eclipse IoT”. The Eclipse IoT website is available at
http://iot.eclipse.org and the logo of Eclipse IoT is attached to the brief – while not mandatory, we encourage designers to provide logos that convey the idea of Hono belonging to the Eclipse IoT brand.
Industry:
Technology
Notes:
Some important keywords relevant to Hono that we would like somehow to be represented in our logo:
- Internet of Things
- Cloud
- Connecting
- Scalability (i.e Hono is ready for connecting billions of devices)
Do you guys have any preference regarding color(s) for the logo? We can add that to the brief too.
