Hi, I’m a long-time Pandoc user – thanks to jgm for this excellent tool! The possibility to have a Pandoc logo occurred to me recently, when I started to work on a Pandoc/PDF package for the Atom editor and needed an icon. To be honest, I don’t really like the designs proposed so far. They seem too “invented” to me, the connection to Pandoc being only clear to people to whom it has been explained. I mean, “∀” to stand for “pan” is a cute idea if you know what a logical quantifier is, but only very few people will make this connection. And “Δ” to stand for “document” seems even more arbitrary to me. And the graphic design abilities of the people on the list appear to be limited. No offence! Now, at the danger of opening me up to similar criticism, I thought of this: Use a symbol - which is already designed, so no need for graphic design talents, - which is in Unicode, so that there are fonts that can be used for the design,and - which is connected to both Pandoc’s name and function (transforming a sequence of paragraphs). One symbol that fulfills these criteria is the “Pilcrow Sign” (¶, U+00B6) indicating a paragraph break, see Pilcrow and The Origin of the Pilcrow . It looks like a mirrored “P” with a double stem and a filled-in bowl (hence also called “blind P”). But even better: Unicode contains a “Reversed Pilcrow Sign” (⁋, U+204B), which therefore looks like a “P”. “P” for “paragraph” and “Pandoc”. [image: GoogleFontsReversePilcrow.png] In order to be used for a design without charge, a free font would be optimal. I found the following 9 font families on Google Fonts containg the reversed Pilcrow sign: Cantarell, Cardo, Caudex, EB Garamond, M PLUS 1p, M PLUS Rounded 1c, Nova Mono, Sawarabi Gothic, and Vollkorn. Here is what the glyphs look like: All fonts are licensed under SIL OFL 1.1, i.e. they can all used freely for logo design . This page lists even more fonts containing the symbol, at least some of which are free. Moreover, Font Awesome Free contains a “paragraph” icon (under CC BY 4.0) [image: paragraph-solid.png] whose design allows it to be simply flipped horizontally to generate a reverse Pilcrow sign. That’s what I’m currently using in my package. My proposal is to simply use the glyph of the reversed Pilcrow sign in one of these fonts as the Pandoc logo. I like the classical elegance of EB Garamond’s, but also the simplicity of Cantarell’s and the robustness of Font Awesome’s. On top of that, one could think of a variant of the Markdown mark by Dustin Curtis where the “M” is replaced by the reversed Pilcrow sign, to stand for Pandoc-flavored Markdown. John & everybody, what do you think? Carsten ​ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pandoc-discuss" group.
