*If* Pandoc is going to have a logo I think we should learn from 
history:

*   +1 Knuth designed a logo for TeX which could be reproduced by 
*tex* the program without relying on any image file.

*   -1 He didn't make it simple enough: it was and is hard to 
reproduce with other tools.

Thus a Pandoc logo should be possible to reproduce with pandoc and 
the tools pandoc uses and caters for, without the need for any 
special tools, fonts, images or drawing skill.

Therefore I suggest a logo which is the word 'Pandoc' in an italic 
'typewriter' font, with an asterisk on either side. I prefer the 
Computer Modern italic typewriter font, because it looks both 
italic and typewriter-like, but any italic typewriter font should do.

Such a logo can be easily reproduced with code like the following.


docbook:

:	``` <emphasis><literal>*Pandoc*</literal></emphasis> ```

html:

:	``` <em><code>*Pandoc*</code></em> ```

latex:

:	``` \emph{\texttt{*Pandoc*}} ```

markdown:

:	``` *`*Pandoc*`* ```

mediawiki:

:	``` ''<code>*Pandoc*</code>'' ```

rst:

:	``` *``*Pandoc*``* ```

textile:

:	``` _@*Pandoc*@_ ```


When there *is* need for something icon-like (although to me icon 
and CLI don't really go together) the equivalent of `` *`*P*`* ``, 
possibly framed, can be used.
