+The APR Logo    ### Work In Progress ###
+============
+
+The two SVG files in this directory were created with Inkscape[1]. Both
+contain several layers that implement variants of (part of) the logo.
+
+NOTE: This logo was first published in October 2025. Older versions of
+      the logo are archived in sub-directories.
+FIXME: "will be" first published...I hope.
+

+
+apr-oakleaf-inkscape.svg
+------------------------
+
+Source: https://www.apache.org/foundation/press/kit/feather.svg
+
+This image is derived from the ASF oak-leaf logo, with an added white
+outline (in two variants). The leaf is slightly smaller, with in the
+same 650x1000 bounding box.
+
+It should not be used as a stand-alone logo, only embedded into the
+larger APR logo (see below). Use feather.svg in stand-alone contexts.
+
+Layers:
+  - leaf:       the original, unmodified oak leaf.
+  - outline-v1: a thin white outline and background conforming to the
+                exact contours of the leaf.
+  - outline-v2: a slightly modified outline that blends into the gap
+                in the leaf on the right side of the stem.
+  - background: tinted background rectangle the size of the bounding box
+                against which the outlines are clearly visible.
+
+
+apr-logo-inkscape.svg
+---------------------
+
+NOTE: This image has embedded text. You must install the required fonts
+      in order to view or edit it.
+
+Layers:
+  - constr-dim:  construction dimension annotations.
+  - constr-line: logo construction lines.
+  - leaf,
+    outline-v1,
+    outline-v2:  same as in apr-oakleaf-inkscape.svg, above.
+  - text:        the logo text: "APACHE" in three different colours
+                 and "PORTABLE RUNTIME PROJECT" in white.
+  - bar:         the navy blue rectangle used as the background for
+                 the white text.
+
+Fonts:
+  - constr-dim:  Times New Roman Regular and Arial Regular;
+                 should be available more or less everywhere.
+  - text:        Open Sans Regular and Bold; these fonts are free and
+                 can be downloaded and installed from, e.g., Google Fonts.
+
+                 FIXME: Open Sans will be replaced by Garet, the font used
+                        by the ASF logo. However, Garet is not a free, open
+                        source font.
+
+NOTE: Without modifications, this logo only works on a white background.
+      To use it in other contexts, change the fill and stroke of the
+      leaf outline to the desired colour. This can be done with CSS,
+      as the outline path(s) have a unique IDs. However, do NOT use the
+      logo on a dark background, that just won't work.
+
+
+Exporting the Logo Variants
+---------------------------
+
+Step 1: Remove the layers constr-dim, constr-line and one of the outlines.
+        Remove one of the three "APACHE" texts, depending on which colour
+        you require. When exporting the logo for the web site, also remove
+        the bar layer; the site adds it with CSS styling.
+
+Step 2: Convert all text to paths/curves to remove dependency on fonts.
+
+Step 3: Export the image as a plain or optimised SVG. Be careful with
+        optimisations: the curve points must be exported with high precision
+        or there may be special effects, and element identifiers should be
+        retained, at least for the outline, if you plan on modifying the
+        colours through CSS. (Note that it's easy enough to add unique
+        to later with a text editor, if you're patient enough.)
