I had initially hoped to find the official Pandoc logo at the end of this thread, so I could reference it for an article I recently authored. That being said, it was equally enjoyable reading through all the messages and looking at all the submissions. So although I do not at the moment have any fresh inspiration to contribute, I have nonetheless joined so that someday, hopefully, I shall learn of the final decision before the rest of the world. 😄

Dear John & people in logo discussion,

Nice to e-meet you, I am Dongbin Han. Graphic–designer in Arnhem.
I’ve interested in using pandoc in recent days. getting more into the title. 'Πd' it is cool as well that the pandoc’s meaning with greek ‘all documentation’. Anyhow, I write to share you a font I drew for pandoc.

* It's based on SIL license, so you are free to use it. you kno same pronunciation of 'pandoc' in Hangul is '판독 判讀' meaning 'Read / Decode'.

hope y'all have safe and great days,

Thanks for this!  Personally I would prefer to keep the ability
to think of the logo as a Greek capital Pi plus a D -- the
reverse Pilcrow in certain fonts can be seen that way -- as
that represents Pan (Greek ∏αν = all) + Doc: ∏D
The font you have used has a serif on the bottom that
prevents reading it this way.

My other reaction is that, although the rounded blue background
makes it look very professional, it also gives it a "corporate"
feel that may be out of keeping with the scruffy open source
vibe of pandoc.
