Personally, I wouldn't use a logo chosen without the approval of John; would feel a bit rude tbh. That said, we can vote on proposals and pick our favorites, in order to frame the discussion.About the logo:
- We should pick a logo that denotes what pandoc does, not how it does it. Users (rightly) don't care that pandoc builds an abstract syntax tree, so that should not be in the logo. (This is also what BP stated in his Dec16 post)
- At its core, pandoc converts documents. It converts .md into .html and so on. A quick google image search tells us that *the* canonical icon for conversion is the circle arrow symbol (kinda like the recycling arrow). example: http://cracksfree.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/avs-document-converter_98327.jpg
- For documents, any stack would do: http://images.clipartpanda.com/document-clipart-082004-green-grunge-clipart-icon-business-document4.png
It's also interesting to see how the rmarkdown folks look at this:

It seems clear to me that jgm is the only person who can choose an
official pandoc logo.
However, we, as an community, can still vote on a logo. It won't be
official pandoc logo, but the community logo which can be used to brand
projects build with or around pandoc. Of course that logo could be
changed as soon as an official logo is chosen.
My suggestion would be to wait a little while longer before doing any
voting, e.g. until the first of March.
