I think may be just using the type (it was the original idea). Say pick a 
good open source font, and play with negative space.

I don't know if the short form will be too short though, I never heard 
people called pandoc `pd` (though I heard pmd, PFM, etc.). But on the other 
hand, having the `an` and `oc` seems killing the idea. (one of the example 
above kind of did this and is kind of ugly. But then his idea of joining 
the Pd together along the straight line might worth exploring: may be a 
multi-axe? Multitool on steroid?)
