#709 Change compilation logos

[upa]

Following the idea of ​​feature -requests # 708 seems reasonable to me that:

Another thing I do not like are the icons of compiling , do not show the essence of each of compilers ( pdflatex , XeLaTeX ) and each has a predetermined symbol or font, and play with that symbol does not show every one.

Unfortunately I'm not a graphic designer, but I would be nice if the icons were compiled in two ways .

1) I really like the " TeX Lion" and is a great reference for everything related to Tex , the original design was ctan ( http://www.ctan.org/lion/ ) , would be good if placed face this and the font style of each engine latex, serious face as the project bibtool ( http://www.gerd-neugebauer.de/images/tex-lion-colored.png ) or better.
Many charts with " TeX Lion" are :

2) the other option is to place the official logos engines latex, for example the lualatex is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:LuaTeX_logo.svg
XeLaTeX : http://www.xelatex.org/xetex_icon.jpeg

It would be good that all this could be and any graphic design experience in the conduct much nicer , annex an idea as much as I would like.

(note : the sources of each motor can be used with dtklogos package, see : http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/11095/how-to-write-latex-with-parentheses-or-any-other-tex-related-logo)

None of the core developers is a graphics designer. We neither have the time nor the skill for developing refined icon designs. Of course, contributions are highly welcome.

A few remarks to your proposals:

1. I don't quite understand what you mean by 'if the icons were compiled in two ways'.

2. The TeX Lion is a bit unspecific. As you say it refers to 'everything related to TeX'. That's about everying in TeXstudio. The lion is not very specific for compilation. From a practical point of view, I think's difficult to recognize it on small icons, because it's quite detailed.

3. I've worked quite a bit in the TeX world, but I didn't know the logos of neiter LuaTeX nor XeTeX (XeTeX is again not suited for small icons). So I doubt, it's really something a majority of TXS users would immediately recognize.

4. I'd like to maintain a certain icon consistency within TXS. All compilers (LaTeX, XeTeX, etc.) should look somewhat similar.

Well, at least it would be interesting in the current design respect the style of letters on each engine, ie where it says latex aparesca as LaTeX, the fonts are:

emacs with auctex has the lion and looks really good;)
