Re: [forge-dev] Fwd: Seam Forge logos round 1

I like the anvil because I often use the phrase "banging out code." In fact, creating software is a lot like creating a sword. You get a rough shape, then you refine it until you have a really sharp edge. Forge itself means to "Move forward gradually or steadily", exactly how swords and software are made (good ones). I don't think "lightweight" really has to be the focus. Naturally, we do want to imply speed, but I think each strike is an efficient one, like a master blacksmith. And there are different hammers for each part of the process (the right tool for the job). So I think the anvil fits very well. Perhaps we need to add the sword to portray the meaning.

We did this a lot during the Arquillian logo drafting process. -Dan -- Dan Allen Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action Registered Linux User #231597 http://www.google.com/profiles/dan.j.allen#about http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction
