Sorry, I unintentionally created a new thread on a similar topic: pandoc 
logo - Google Groups 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pandoc-discuss/gCnALm9EKEA>. Any 
further discussion should goes here.

Over there I draft a design of pandoc logo by playing on the symmetry 
between P and d. One expression of that idea is an axe looks like P and the 
same thing rotated looks like d. The reason an axe is used is because this 
kind of echo pandoc being like a Swiss army knife, where an axe is like 
that on steroid. A proper design of that axe should resemble the letter P 
and d better.

Another way the pd trick would work is to partially overlap the circle 
while using negative space.

If anyone think that’s a good idea, I could create a better draft of the 
idea.

As to where the logo is needed:

   - packaged installers 
   - website logo (so called favicon) 
   - anywhere pandoc is mentioned 
   - a pandoc-extras website that I might be setting up 

One consideration on designing the logo might follow the \LaTeX example 
which is text only, because pandoc is primarily for processing texts. To 
push this idea further, we might even be constructing this logo by math so 
that together with a macro, using something like \pandoc in markdown will 
output a proper pandoc “logo” in any output formats.

Another point is to make sure the logo looks great both when it is very 
tiny (16x16??) and very big.
