The resemblance between the various logos doesn't seem striking to me. 
There are obvious common elements and/or colors, but the general approach 
seems different enough to me. Yet, the design seems somewhat familiar so I 
don't know if there are other logos similar to your proposal (considering 
that you gave strength to the community factor, there are bound to be a 
number of them)

I liked the logo a lot too, but I'd just tone down the Apache word a bit (a 
smaller font size, bottom aligned with the Flex lettering) and I'd separate 
both words with a space in order to improve legibility (If you used the 
same font and capitalization style in both words you could get away with 
just a different weight to differentiate them, but as it is it seems like 
someone made an error).

On top of the suggestions above I wonder how the logo would turn out with a 
couple variations: One with the Apache word rotated so it is written in the 
vertical and the other with Apache on top of FLEX.

I hope you don't mind me making these suggestions, but I feel somewhat like 
being in the role of the client here (until I submit my own proposal, if 
that's ever going to happen, in which case I'd be arguing and suggesting 
things to myself!).

Cheers,
Rui
