No, it’s one of AlienFlux’s Fluffies! ;D
Comes with the tagline “Java: the Cute and Cuddly Choice”.
That’s “cute and fluffy” and if Stitch ever found out he’d eat you. ;D
The new logo is pretty cool and much cleaner and easier to reproduce (it should be in the upper left corner of this page).
Should really help for branding, and the push to have people put buttons that link to the new java.com site is a great step forward as well.
jbanes posted this earlier, and I’m curious too:
Can anyone find or clarify the rules on logo usage for Java?
Specifically, what does it mean to be a licensee so you can use “Java Verified”, “Java Compatible” and “Java Powered”?
I know the coffee cup itself is off limits (so sayeth Sun) to anyone but Sun.
Any thoughts?
Teh coffee cup is not totally off-limits as they are encouraging you to link to java.net with a coffee cup button and http://www.puppygames.net/ displays a version of the logo.
I there must be a channel to ask for permission to use the logo… somebody that knows the details can post further info.
I don’t want to make waves for Cas, he’s riding high as well he should. But I don’t want him to get into trouble either.
The latest I got from Sun’s licensing is that the lone coffee cup, of which Cas has a clone of, is most definitely off-limits… Sun use only. Unless they have changed this and didn’t tell anyone, I am assuming this rule stands.
But there are at least three other logs that are in question:
-
The java.net logo, of which I think you merely have to click a button after reading the license to access
-
The Get Java Now! button, and its relative “Jump to Java” featuring Duke. Same rules, only you have to wait for an email back from Sun giving you download access
-
Java Verified, Java Compatible, Java Powered, are all logos that licensees can use. The question I am pursuing with their marketing dept. is what is a Java licensee? I have found NO information on this whatsoever, and since Java is no-cost, I don’t understand what changes in this case.
Well, I certainly hope that they’ve loosened the restrictions a bit then… because this huge marketing campaign can’t work smoothly if there is a huge gob of red tape between people that wish to display the logo (in ways consistent with the campaign) and Sun.
Maybe you only get to use the logo if you make some sort of hardware that runs Java?
This sort of info needs to be made clear on java.net.
Still working on it. The biggest confusion as I see it is the definitionof licensee, which so far SEEMS to involve the actual source code to Java. Which, for 99% of us, is irrelevant… so … I’m not sure yet.
