Hi,
[2] is a formally PDF (created with Adobe Illustrator): converting it using
pdf2svg [4] results in a small (40 kiB) SVG.

Looks like it's because of the canvas.

We need the font as well. Looks like, [4] was used.
Or is there an "official" ASF font to switch to?
Need to look into [5,6] or ask about it.
But maybe the main question:
@Julien, do you still have contacts to the creator of the logo?
We should first ask them before anybody "amateurishly" modifies the logo.

Hi,
We uploaded our StormCrawler logo for automatic logo generation [1]. The source
file is available here [2] or in our StormCrawler website repository.
Does anyone have decent Photoshop skills? I think we should consider the
following: *
Update our logo by creating an SVG version that scales properly for graphics.
The current tooling doesn’t handle the .ai file well, which makes the generated
“powered by” logo look terrible [1]. *
Possibly add “Apache” to our logo similar to how it’s done with the Storm logo
here [3]; I believe it would improve the overall look. This might also be
important, if we plan for the Trademark route.
What do you think?
