Hi Boh Yap,

I think your logos are quite elegant. I have made some tweaks to the 3-armed 
variant lately, but they probably are not as elegant as yours. They can be 
seen here:

Wow, the second one looks good. It looks like one of those fancy garden 
sprinklers that spin.

Yes, I like the second one too. But I like Boh's too. Boh's is more a
logo and the garden sprinkler is more a symbol, more abstract.

The question then is; do we want that or do we want more of a normal logo?

True. But then we should remember that Jon's first one (with the
straight bars) would be compatible to TC's original ASCII version.
Having also an ASCII logo is a good thing.

Hi Boh Yap, hi Jon, hi all,

now we have a larger and larger supply of nice and interesting logos :-)

It is getting difficult to choose one. How can we proceed? I feel I
cannot decide it. Can we use some democratic process, where everybody
who is interested posts a vote for his favourite logo? I would suggest
that we count the votes at the end of this month (January 2010).

Cheers,
- Alex

Could it be my fault? Does the picoLisp mailing list mess up something?

This mailing list is handled by the script misc/mailing, which is also
included in the standard distribution. It calls 'fetchmail' every five
minutes, polls the /var/mail/picolisp spool file, and relays arriving
mails to all recipients that are recorded in Mailings.

Hi Boh,

No apology required.  The choice of a logo is a community effort.

In these early stages, brainstorming is encouraged. 
Thank you for sharing your ideas.

hi alex,  all

althoug I've been following this picolisp list, I have not been very
active, largely because my current work load has prevented me from
learning/using picolisp, which is something I wanted to do ...

I am struck by its elegance, and it deserves a good logo.

With all due respect to Eugene and others,... here is my rendition of
a (prospective) logo.

It is based on the Greek chars on my Mac OS X, I traced over the
characters and modified it.
The pico (ro) has a break it in, and the lambda has an extended 'right
foot' making it look more like a 'L', .

The left foot is greyed out, and extends into the background of the
ro, sort of hinting at a Lambda.

There are 4 versions,

1. ignore, exported by mistake!

2. has a slight shadow, looks good but may be difficult to overlay on
top of other images/color background..

3. has no shadow

4. a monochrome version

the colours can be changes of course, I chose brighter versions of the
red and blue...
The logo is done in Omni Graffle, a Mac OSX drawing app, with Bezier
curves, it can as export to Photoshop, so if anyone wants to tweak the
logo pls contact me and I can pass you the file...

It was only a very simple image.

Here's a fixed width courier font rendition.

 /\

   //  \\

Basically, it's like the three colour logo but with a bit more 
separation between the 'p' and lambda parts of the symbols.  Someone 
with better graphics tools could pimp it up.


Cheers,
Eugene


PS:  I use ThunderBird. For this message I changed the format to plain 
text only. Maybe that'll help.

Here (Mutt / Debian) I can see and read the mails, but all contents are
a single big chunk, i.e. attachments don't appear as such. I helped
myself with cutting out the image data with 'vim', and using 'munpack'
to extract the images.

What might be wrong?

Hi Eugene,

 in picoFarad,
 which uses the symbol Rho and of course Lamda in recognition of Lisp 

Thanks! For further discussion, I've also put it onto the test page.

I have never seen picoFarad written with the symbol Rho, only as pF, 
but it's a long time since I did any electronics ... As far as I know, 
Rho is a Greek letter R.

Here's what our friend W. has to say about it:
