Hi, While this discussion is going on, it is still the case that Paul’s new unofficial logo is better than the old green one, so I did in fact replace the wiki logo. It will stay up until someone comes up with a proposal with a higher level of consensus. Thanks Paul! Taco PS I tried replacing the favicon as well, but the image does not want to scale down that much, so the favicon is still Patrick’s tulips.

Hi,

Just a quick note on logo design:

The ConTeXt logo could just as well be a set of tulips or some (TeX-styled) lion or a dutch cow or a windmill or some variation off the Pragma-ADE logo (see pragma-ade.com). There is no real need to display the letters “context”.

In fact, having a pictograph instead of / along with textual content is probably a good idea.

For use in actual text we already have \CONTEXT.

My 2c, ok, let me add 1c ... since 2011 in the distribution there is always a file context-version.[pdf|png] which is a colorful representation of the current context version (date and time) ... probably no one ever noticed it (at some point i dropped the icon file)

perhaps a gradient on background can suggest the right orientation of reading. -- luigi

I do agree ;-)

Here’s an attempt the blend the lines in plain monochrome … The latter having a naive reference to the typical TeX letter dropping

I like this. There could even be an animated version that links the twi versions (and would work in (Lua)iTeX, of course). Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD
