Subject: Another Lisp logo
I asked a friend of mine, Manfred Spiller,[1] who is a professional
graphic designer, if he'd like to create a Lisp logo and this is what
he came up with:

  <http://www.normal-null.de/lisp_logo.html>

I think it's very nice and as you can see you are free to use it for
whatever purpose.

BTW, doesn't "lizard" sound a bit like "Lisp?"  Maybe someone has an
idea how one could name the little sucker...

Cheers,
Edi.

[1] Here is the website of his company:

      <http://www.normal-null.de/>

    Manfred also did the graphical design for the Jazz website I'm
    maintaining:

      <http://marcusmiller.com/>

Great!  That's the winner so far.  Reminds me of Escher, which is a pretty
good association for Lisp, I think.

I liked them all (including KMP's).  I did something else
though, and asked a client.  He was amazed that we'd wish to
advertise/disclose something that's giving us an immense competitive
edge!  Perhaps there's that dimension to consider also?  

cheers,

BM

Even with a couple of nice logos and some grass-roots advertisement
99.9% of the unwashed masses won't get it.  I don't think what we're
doing is really dangerous... :)

Cheers,
Edi.

Maybe I'm just projecting, but is the protruding tongue meant to be a
lambda glyph?

Very nice.

I notice that the web page suggests attributing the logo to the creator,
but I didn't see any identification of him on that page.  I guess you
can get it through the "Impressum" link at the bottom, but adding Herrn
Spiller's name to the text would be a good idea.

It is nice.

However, I always tought of what animal should be associated with
(Common) Lisp.  The color of the CLTL2 always made me think of a
dolphin.  How about changing the lizard to a dolphin?

Cheers

Yeah, I think the license allows you to do that.  Let us know when
you're done... :)

Cheers,
Edi.

You are assuming that I am not a lazy bastard :)

Well, also "object orientedness" :)  Why can't we steal it? :)
BTW.  Also MySQL uses the dolphin.

When I took my first look at your friend's design I thought chameleon
as opposed to lizard, and Lisp is a chameleon:

So, love it.  

Thanks.
