Good to revive this again (this topic has been resurrected a few times 
already!)

I like that. Scaling that to act like a letter seems to make the tail too 
long for many of them. I like the short tail ones, but all those does not 
have a hole. I think something with a better proportion of the tails, 
double line, with a hole would be best.

From the last experience, we almost got to the stage to finally have a 
logo. But when the draft design(s) is chosen, there's no good final design. 
It seems like we were good at coming up with the ideas, but poor (including 
me) to execute it since we are no digital artists. So the idea of using a 
unicode character from font is good. I think similar suggestion has been 
made, so that we can use a good design with free license. But the Pilcrow 
sign has not been suggested before and it seems a good choice to me.

Hopefully most people will agree (including the most important person) then 
we can move on to the stage to find a font that this character looks best 
as a pandoc logo.

Although there doesn't seem like a deep connection with a pilcrow sign to 
pandoc, but it is something almost everyone has seen before (say writing in 
Word with it visible.) And it fits quite naturally for pandoc which process 
"all documents." The fact that some fonts render it like a P is a bonus.

P.S. how about duplicate it and rotate the second one by 180º to make it 
looks like Pd? The idea of "Pd" has come up earlier above.

P.P.S. I recently have been thinking about using parametric curves in polar 
coordinate to try to draw something resemble Pd. But I haven't sit down and 
come up with the parameters, and frankly it seems too geeky.
