I did have the concern expressed above that the reversed Pilcrow
in a box e.g. in an editor menu looks like it should create a new
paragraph,
I wouldn't be too concerned about that. The Pilcrow is familiar as an end-of-paragraph symbol, but I have never seen an editor that uses it to stand for "create paragraph".
Apparently there is a Pilcrow button in MS Word, but that stands for "show hidden formatting".
For my own package, I think that the documentation
should make it completely clear.
And once the symbol is used on the Pandoc website, users will automatically start associating it with Pandoc.
and isn't obviously recognizable as a logo.
A properly designed logo would certainly be nice. A while ago there was a comment from a designer on the repo offering to design a logo. I left a comment, maybe he chimes in.
But I would propose that for the moment we just settle on a font, and leave possible further logo design for the future.
And that would mean that you, John, have to decide which font it is supposed to be. :)
