logo design

recently on #emacs irc of freenode, there's a discussion of a logo of
planet emacsen site.

I made some comments about such logo:

http://paste.lisp.org/display/28901

I have brought this topic here here before... that i think LISP really
need to have a logo. I'm aware of “made with alien technology lisp”
web-badge, but that is a lisp-peddling badge, not a lisp logo proper.

Python, did not really have a logo. I made a plaint more than once in
different periods of times to comp.lang.pytho n. Them tech geeking
morons and assholes, as expected, made irrelevant and incoherent cries.
But look now, Python now has a logo inargurated around 2005, and is a
well-designed one.

For examples (most top quality) logos, see:
http://xahlee.org/UnixResource_dir/lambda_logo.html
(the lambda logo tour)

http://xahlee.org/UnixResource_dir/freebooks.html
(the unix pestilence)

http://xahlee.org/UnixResource_dir/complang.html
(computer language logos)

Again: the primary purpose of this message, is to beseach that the
power-that-be of lispers, seriously think about getting themselves a
official logo. Thanks.

There are already many different logos, if you don't like the "made with
secret alien technology" text:

Does the "power-that-be of lispers" spend much time on c.l.py? Even though
Python is mentioned in passing in this post, it really doesn't need to be
cross-posted here.

Xah Lee is a well-known spammer, almost all his messages contain at least
one link to his site in the body.

Somehow this time he limited his post to 3 groups instead of the usual 5.
Maybe talking with the right people does work. It did with Dreamhost. And
I am sure his current hosting provider is listening ;-)

No personal offense intended, but human animal's history is what? 3000
years at least in recorded history? And, all you can think of is what,
the view points of a fraction of your personal life span?

Have you looked into, the history of fashions, icons, their roles and
social significance, before you embarked and embraced on your above-it
attitude about why should or should not your pet language lisp have a
logo?

As per more detailed reasons on the meaning of logos, it's social
significance, its role in modern society, the defining characteristics
of logo design, and why LISP needs a logo, i'll post a reply to this
thread wthin a month.

No offense intended, but were you around in 1959 or so? The way
that time passes in the computer science world, having a logo for
Lisp is like having a logo for the abacus ;) Besides, who are _we_
to go back and impose our modern ideas of what looks "slick" and
pretty on the great thinkers of an earlier age? Should we make a
logo for the Pythagorean Theorem or for Newton's Three Laws?
Python, did not really have a logo. I made a plaint more than once in
different periods of times to comp.lang.pytho n. Them tech geeking
morons and assholes, as expected, made irrelevant and incoherent cries.

I personally have a lot of respect for Python hackers and I think
you should too. We Lispers should show our greatness by not
stooping to such insults ;)

This conversation has clearly descended to the level where it needs to
be taken to email. Nobody wants to read this.

Yeah, this still seems kind of silly though. Implementations ,
companies and user groups have logos, not languages.

Picture this: Hey, I'm switching to COBOL because its new
logo looks great on t-shirts and mugs.

I am trying to design a "multilingual" logo. I was thinking about having a background graphic with two letters (the company name's accronym) on top of it. The thing is that (of course) the accronym changes for each particular language. John Yunker in his excellent book on web globalization: "Beyond Borders", rightly critisizes the use of accronims like "IBM" in a global market, he gave plenty of reasons and related etc.'s.
