is there an official Fricas icon?

[Nasser M. Abbasi]

For my next report of independent integration tests, I would like to put an icon for all the CAS systems used in the report.

I searched but do not see an official icon/image for Fricas.  Does one exist I can download the image?

I see at top left corner of sourceforge page below an icon

https://sourceforge.net/projects/fricas/

But not sure if it is a place holder or not.

Other CAS systems seem to have an official icon/image and I am trying to collect all these icons to put them at front page of the final report.

There is no official one. Actually, I would like to have a proper
nice-looking one.

For the fricas github account, I have created something (see the branch
fricas-githbub-icon in my private repository.

https://github.com/hemmecke/fricas/blob/fricas-github-icon/fricas.svg
https://github.com/hemmecke/fricas/blob/fricas-github-icon/fricas.png

I don't think it should count as the official logo.

Maybe we should call for a logo competition to create a nice logo for
FriCAS. ;-)

Thanks. That is nice icon. With your permission, can I use that icon on the front cover?

fyi, the following is a preliminary image of the cover with the 8 CAS icons showing

including the Fricas icon.

I had lots of bots in the past doing lots of wget and my ISP complained to me on bandwidth so I disabled wget.

I enabled it now. so it should work.

Hi here,

For a Windows installer, and a just click icon, I quickly created a
Windows icon in the past (see attachment).

But what I really think is that a real logo, a figure, a drawing etc.
should be used with the name of FriCAS (in the logo eventually or
below).

Right.

I think we should call for a little competition. ;-)
Anyone interested? Let's collect some ideas.
See attachment.

From FriCAS wiki

http://fricas-wiki.math.uni.wroc.pl/FrontPage

there is a variant of the original Axiom icon.

Although I care little about logos, it might be preferable to have one that can
be constructed in a simple way, e.g. as ASCII art or by a LaTeX macro.
There are some tools (figlet for ascii-art) or tizk for LaTeX which may be of
help (see links below).
A quick search and some adjustments resulted in the hints below (which doesn't
mean, I like it ;). Actually I like the one Bill referred to in the last post.

Somewhat true, but I think that nowadays an SVG or a scalable postscript
file should be fine.

Hmm... I'm of a different opinion. It looks a bit like the logo on the
AXIOM book of Jenks and Sutor, but honestly the axiom logo looks more
stylish with the double-dot i in the middle of the word. I find FriCAS
logo on http://fricas-wiki.math.uni.wroc.pl/ a bit boring.

An idea would be to take a picture connected to frykas of fricassee.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fricassee
However, although logos are only there to recognise a brand, I'm not so
sure that a picture of food makes sense for the promotion of a CAS.

I think I would like a logo that somehow shows types since that is one
of the big features of FriCAS.
