Does it necessarily have to be a specific font? I doubt people will care about such details as long as the general look is the expected one, the pilcrow, a box (the idea of a square rotated 45 degrees, i.e. a lozenge, seems a good one to me BTW) and the expected general color in a color document. OTOH if the font is the "right" one but other details are wrong, like a non-reversed pilcrow, a circle instead of a box or the wrong color the "right" font doesn't help.  Most people who aren't font nerds (I used to be one when I was younger actually) won't notice any font differences less gross than filled vs. not filled, w/o a "leg" or sans vs. serif.

I did have the concern expressed above that the reversed Pilcrow

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
  https://github.com/allefeld/atom-pandoc-pdf#toolbar-buttons
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. :)
