This was a joke, wasn't it?

 Why not taking a camel with 6 humps?

 Just joking, could not resist. :-)
 

 You want 6 humps? 

 I'll give you 6 humps!

YALI (yet another logo idea)

[Ross Kendall]

I was thinking that a logo doesn't really need to incorporate a symbol
(e.g. camel, onion etc.), and that one of the more important aspects of
a logo is the typography.

Rather than ramble on with ideas, I decided to make something to look at:

http://www.rakudo.org/some-rakudo-logo-ideas

Also, I really think the services of a professional designer are
needed.  Is there any possibility of some funds being allocated to hire
one? (Who did the Parrot logo?)

RE: A Logo design for Rakudo Perl 6

[Ross Kendall]

I was just reading over some of the previous logo discussion and came up
with an idea for combining logos - i.e. Rakudo + Parrot.

We could have a speech bubble coming from the Parrot's beak with the
Rakudo logo (gimel?) inside.

Just a simple idea, but I thought it would provide a good way to tie in
the parrot logo with various languages implemented on Parrot.  Sits
nicely with the Speaks you language tag line.

What do people think?

Ross.

Re: Rakudo Perl development release #14 (Vienna)

[Ross Kendall]

Thanks for the Vienna release.  All of a sudden Perl 6 feels a lot more
accessible. 

After having failed attempts trying to build Pugs and earlier Rakudo
versions (I didn't try too hard), this worked a treat.  Downloaded
tarball and built on my openSUSE 11.0 desktop, all in only a couple of
minutes.  The instructions were clear and simple.  Great, now I'm ready
to start playing with Perl 6!

Are there plans to set up a new website for Rakudo now it's on its own? 
If so, I would be prepared to offer some Drupal expertise - if it's
wanted.  I saw mention of a logo before, is there any news on that?

Cheers,
Ross.
