| One of the major benefits of Apache Beam is the fact that it unifies both |
| both batch and stream processing into one powerful model. In fact, this unification |
| is so important, the name Beam itself comes from the union of **B**atch + str**EAM** = Beam |
| |
| When the project started, we wanted a logo which was both appealing and visually |
| represented this unification. <!--more--> Thanks to the **amazing** work of Stephanie Smythies, the Apache Beam project |
| now has a logo. |
| |
| *drum roll* - **Presenting, the Apache Beam Logo!** |
| |
| <img src="{{ "/images/beam_logo_s.png" | prepend: site.baseurl }}" alt="Apache Beam Logo"> |
| |
| We are excited about this logo because it is **simple**, **bright**, and shows the |
| unification of bath and streaming, as beams of light, within the 'B'. We will base |
| our future website and documentation design around this logo and its coloring. We |
| will also make various permutations and resolutions of this logo available in the |
| coming weeks. For any questions or comments, send an email to the `dev@` email list |
| for Apache Beam. |
