Dear Harald, Thank you very much the detailed answer! This is pretty much what I was looking for! Indeed, it seems like a big decision to change the logo just like that. It is good to know about the whole story behind the logo. Of course, the point that logos develop a certain signature for

Interestingly, I just noticed that on the sagetrac webpage, the logo is different than the usual one: http://trac.sagemath.org/ It seems that this is actually the real picture behind Sagemath logo. Could that be? This would be that the logo is actually some sort of Schlegel diagram of a

I think a logo refresh would be great. Companies refresh their logos all the time without loss of continuity or brand recognition. I agree with the concern that this kind of thing requires the skills of a professional designer, but I don't see why such a professional couldn't be involved at

I am pretty sure the current Sage logo is not an icosahedron - Harald can explain the exact provenance, I am sure. Count the edges and vertices etc. There are faces with four sides, for instance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups sage-devel group.

Looks nice, and it would be great to use as graphics on the sagemath web page. What IMHO is lacking is that it is too complicated. A *logo* is ideally recognizable at 16x16px (e.g. favicon) and that pretty much excludes an icosahedron. Its just too busy for that purpose. Maybe a tetrahedron
