I must say I find it hard to have to choose between two very good proposals. :-) I think I have a slight preference for Luis’ proposal. Regardless, I agree with Chris: we must put this design to good use in another G project! Thanks for the great work. Ludo’.

Associations like this absolutely should be mentioned. Recalling one or the other high-profile logo design case, ears are one of the less problematic body parts :) It could mean Guile listens ;) -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/

Iff it won't be used for Guile, I see nothing speaking against using it for a different project, as long as the lambda and the implied G make sense for it. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/

Thorsten Wilmswrites: > I guess the silence (with the one exception, thank you Amirouche!) > means I should stop and go away, [...] No need to be so self-critical. :-) Personally I was silent because I found both nice in their own ways and could not decide. (Your second logo is definitely much nicer than your first though, IMO.) In the mail you originally posted, the logo it looked somewhat pixelated (needs more anti-aliasing?) but in this on-website comparison it doesn't have that issue so it looks very nice. And I have to say it looks almost like a somewhat better fit on the website, due to the rest of the site looking quite "organic" (due to the drawing, I think), and your logo too (due to the curvature of the lambda, I think), whereas the other logo looks a bit more "mechanic" and more bold (literally as well as figuratively). Not sure if my words make sense, describing feelings is difficult. All in all I find both very nice, but have a slight preference for your logo, at least when placed on the website. Taylan

It’s a very sharp edge and I prefer the friendly “roundness” of Luis’s logo. Funny, as my initial sketches had one flowing curve instead of a hard bend. I moved away from that, at it made both the G and the lambda harder to recognise. I will try rounding it out a bit. Also, the lambda and “Guile” don’t seem to relate to one another; they just sit next to each other, whereas in the logo on the left the stylised parentheses “cooperate” with the text in that the embrace the curve of the “G”. I could likely improve on that with custom font, but that takes a lot of time, so the symbol should be nailed down, first. I think the logo on the left could be improved by fixing the right part of the round “G” and by adding a serif to the “l” (to reduce the gap between “l” and “e”). The thing is, if you adjust the G to have that hook it has in so many fonts, it will work better with "uile", but sit less well alone in the (implied) circle.

Gambda Logo
Hi! Here's another and final logo proposal in 4 variations (attached). It's all about the symbol, I simply picked the color and font from the website demo, just for a first shot at a lockup. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/
