I really like the black and white sketches with some stylized K on it :-)

Yeah it comes from the author. There is no direct connection--i.e. Franz
Kafka did not write about unifying all your data in a high-throughput
distributed log thing as far as I know. :-)
We had previous gone with a Harry Potter theme at LinkedIn, but after a
half dozen projects had kind of exhausted the good Harry Potter related
names. "Kafka" sounds cool and kind of kept the literary theme.

Somewhat tangential, but where did the name Kafka come from? Is it a
reference to Franz Kafka and The Metamorphosis (or other work)? I ask,
because knowing how the name "Kafka" relates to a distribute pub/sub
system
might help inspire ideas for a logo.

A few people have asked about getting a logo for Kafka. I think this
would
be a great idea!
Oliver has kindly offered to have a someone at Datadog take a shot at
it.
If that doesn't pan out I am happy to do a 99designs contest to get us
more
options.
It would be good for people to use this thread to give ideas or thoughts
on
what might be good. I will follow up with mine. I will give this a day
or
so and then try to summarize the suggestions/guidance so that any
potential
designer isn't overwhelmed by contradictory suggestions.
