The arrow means &#8220;moving forward&#8221;, which has a number of connotations (moving forward with Apache, a fresh start for the project, advancing the state of the art in web\/desktop\/mobile development). The X means &#8220;cross platform&#8221;, which should be pretty self-explanatory to anyone who uses Flex. The combination of the two symbols means &#8220;<strong>Advancing cross-platform development<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougmccune.com\/flexlogo\/apache_flex_logo_dmccune.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougmccune.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/apache_flex1.png?resize=445%2C362&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" title=\"apache_flex1\" width=\"445\" height=\"362\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougmccune.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/apache_flex1.png?w=445&amp;ssl=1 445w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougmccune.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/apache_flex1.png?resize=300%2C244&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 445px) 100vw, 445px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>See the <a href=\"http:\/\/dougmccune.com\/flexlogo\/apache_flex_logo_dmccune.jpg\">full treatment<\/a> with explanation.<\/p>\n<h1>Logo 2<\/h1>\n<p>Main Themes: Stability, strength, enterprise<\/p>\n<p>The second logo tries to capture the enterprise story. Flex is the foundation of many enterprise applications. It provides a core set of components and tools, on top of which we build stable, powerful, robust applications that drive real businesses. This logo has Flex as a strong base. Built on top we have a symbolic chart, but this symbol is also meant to represent a skyline of skyscrapers. Our apps power large enterprises and drive business.
