Project: design logo / name

[alexellis]

A logo will be useful for promoting project. Currently underway with designer.

At the same time a new project name could be useful. FaaS sounds a lot like "fast" which was confusing in the US.

I don't know the current status, but also think the Faas name is a little confusing in an already confusing topic (FaaS vs Serverless. What is the difference and things like that).
I think a good name for it could be something like Everest, because, you know, it auto scale the functions. Its about scaling. Not very clever but its a suggestion. Don't now if you are accepting suggestions for names, this can be very personal.
Hope I helped in some way.

The company Serverless Inc appears to be doing well even with a generic name. I'm still looking into a logo which may involve a new alias or name.

Generally, project maintainers select a animal, or thing that shares common traits with the project to imply similar qualities. Perhaps you have some traits in mind already?

We have a cut of the logo here:

This is now widely known as OpenFaaS - www.openfaas.com. Closing issue.

Mind sharing who the designer was for the logo? (big fan)
