[DISCUSS] Apache Ignite mascot

[Saikat Maitra]

Hi,

I wanted to discuss the idea of creating Apache Ignite mascot and if it is
something we would be interested. I was recently following the process of
creating a mascot  Firefly[1] in Apache Beam project and absolutely loved
the concept.

Hi Saikat,

I love this idea and, frankly, have been contemplating for a while about
the same. Such characters (aka. mascots) can convey the spirit of our
project and community as well as make life more entertaining.

I bet that every Java developer instantly associates Java (as a project and
community) once he/she comes accross Java Duke [1]. Those of us who live in
the U.S. know who Geigo Gecko [1] is. What to say about Ronald McDonald [3]
is famous worldwide.

How do you see the Ignite's mascot? I imagine it as a dragon who is kind
and friendly rather than furious and hostile. Our logo is a spark of fire
and dragons are those whimsical creatures who are usually associated with
fire and flames.

Hi Denis,

Awesome ideas !!! yes, I am aligned on a friendly dragon character as a
mascot, like Spyro. I also like the idea of peacock as its feathers colors
shows a nice clusters.

Here are few proposals I wanted to share:

1. Dragon (fire, spark, ignite)
2. Peacock (feathers, node clusters)
3. Cheetah (speed, fast)
4. Beluga Whales (echolocation, multicasting)

Let me know if you have more suggestions.

Regards,
Saikat

Folks, thanks for sharing ideas.

Let me find a designer who can turn the ideas into pictures. Then we can
compare and adjust.
