I made also a small sketch of a logo. It is pretty raw, colours
are wrong , etcetera, etcetera.<br>
<br>

not touchy so please do tell me. "<br>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
<br>
I gave a shot at the logo, it's very simple. Let me know if you
like the general idea, if you'd like to add something or change
it. <br>
<br>
As colors I've sticked to those of the website but they can be
changed. Also the pattern for the formulas have some white spaces,
but this is just a quick draft.<br>
<br>
If you hate it or think it should go in another direction, I'm not
touchy so please do tell me.<br>
<br>
Best.<br>

I really like the proposal, I just to add a few ideas to the
discussion.<br>
I think that there are some important concepts that could be
used for a logo:<br>
<br>
1) ABEL which is able in the end could be something like a
hammer or a<br>
tool of some sort.<br>
<br>
2) I think that the great thing about the *ABEL project is
that it is not<br>
a single group but it is a network of people and we could
rappresent that<br>
also.<br>
<br>
3) the * in *ABEL could be made by two crossed Chromosomes
or something<br>
else or maybe a DNA strand a tool and something else
(Although I do<br>
realize that it could remind of the comunist party this way
:) ).<br>
<br>
4) I do like animals, but I it should be meanigful somehow
(although Linux<br>
does have a penguin for some obscure reason).<br>
<br>
Best<br>
<br>

I have also some irritation about the fact that there is
no recognisable<br>
<blockquote type="cite">logo on the page. I looks like a
complete default page to me: which<br>
gives<br>
me the impression that there is not any on it. Does
someone has<br>
graphical<br>
skills to create a nice logo which we can use on the
site, posters or<br>
presentations? Having a neat logo, is like wearing a
suite: people think<br>
at<br>
first sight you are more trustworthy,intelligent etc
ect. ;)<br>
<br>

Completely agree and fully support the idea! I even tried
to design<br>
something myself, but it was SO bad :)<br>
<br>
Part of the problem is that obvious meaningful symbols
(like chromosomes,<br>
sigmas and Gaussians) are boring and used for long time.
Another part is<br>
that we can not just pick say a cute kitty and stop -
there should be some<br>
meaning to the symbol (or not?).<br>
<br>
Do we have examples of successful, recognizable logos we
like?I like<br>
FreeBSD, GNU's Gnu, also Firefox and Chrome are very
distinguished.<br>
