Re: [TCLCORE] New Logo ?

[Torsten B. <be...@ty...>]

Hi,

hm, both the one by Tim Hartford and the AI-generated one are quite nice. If we now could have the feather in Tim's version too, I could perhaps be convinced to like the idea of a new logo ;-)

The story behind the feather (tickling the programmer?) is interesting enough to be kept IMO and can always be re-interpreted so it is positive for Tcl. It doesn't have to mean "Tcl is a joke". Tee-cee-ell is simple and elegant, just like a feather ... and a feather is a light-weight writing tool to write nice-looking pieces of art, the art of Tcl programming.

Cheers, Torsten
