Hi all, I've recently been hunting around for SBCL logos and the only one I've found so far is the 'Save Lisp And Die' logo, available to view in a very humorous article on Bill Clementson's blog: http://bc.tech.coop/blog/060606.html Does anyone know of any other SBCL logos, and if there's one in particular that might be called the 'official' SBCL logo? Regards, Sebastian -- Emacs' AlsaPlayer - Music Without Jolts Lightweight, full-featured and mindful of your idyllic happiness. http://home.gna.org/eap |

What about http://www.sbcl.org/sbclbutton.png ? I forgot what these colors mean. -- With best regards, Stas. |

I forgot what these > colors mean. The file name says it all - it's a button, not a logo. Is there really nothing else? The coloured cubes on their own (and blown up to a reasonable size) could be called a logo... perhaps that was the button designer's intention? Sebastian |

It was just something that I threw together to provide a little button dingus for folks that wanted to link to the SBCL web site. I designed the rest of the web site, and I took the colors from the download table because it's probably the most recognizable visual element on the site, and because anyone following a link to the SBCL web site is probably going to want to download it. (We hope.) It wasn't my intention to create a logo. I haven't really got an artistic bone in my body. If anyone wants to provide something better, go for it. For the record, I really don't like the save-lisp-and-die logo. It's funny, but not exactly attractive. -- Brian Mastenbrook br...@ma... http://brian.mastenbrook.net/ |

[Moving to sbcl-devel.] Speaking as someone who seems to have at least one such bone, though not many more than that, I think the four squares would make a perfectly fine logo, especially given that it's already in use to denote SBCL. If starting with the current button design without the text, I recommend eliminating the black border; it clashes with the white internal lines. Use an equally-sized white border or no border at all. -- Kevin Reid <http://switchb.org/kpreid/> |

The tricolor is a popular flag design. But it is neither binary nor square, and L cannot be ignored. Thus the SBCL foursquare was born. May it wave in a new generation of iconography. SB CL - Daniel |
