Hi all, Graphic design is not a strength of mine, but I had an idea that I don't think I've seen incorporated into any of the designs so far. Maybe someone will want to take it further. http://i.imgur.com/ExgM6.png A couple of points: My original idea was simply an italicized R and a λ. Then I

[racket-dev] confused by output of macro stepper -- ooh, I see why! --> UI suggestion.

I was trying to investigate the expansion behavior of a piece of code for which I just submitted a bug, and used the macro stepper. I was confused by what I saw. Here's the program: #lang racket (define (takes-kwd-arg #:kwd-arg opt) (not opt)) (let ([named-val (takes-kwd-arg #:kwd-arg #t)])

I decided to play with this one a bit. I used PLT's lambda, put the "r" in the same style, and then made it into a "lambda r.acket" banner. Here's the deal, though. This one, even just the "lambda r." in a circle, is pushing complexity. We've been approaching logo design too much like language

So do I. Ending it with a dot makes it feel like an unfinished program to me, parameterized on a Racket. Neil ⊥ On 02/13/2012 10:03 AM, Matthias Felleisen wrote: I do actually like the combination of lambda and r, though I am sure the color scheme could benefit from some variation. On Feb

Upon startup of DrRacket, create an animation that moves the lambda onto an r, and then complete with 'acket' as per Eli suggestion. That would be awesome, even though I don't know how hard would be to produce such animation. On 11/02/12 18:27, John Clements wrote: On Feb 11, 2012, at 10:
