Re: RFC: Designing Logo of Pandoc

[John MacFarlane <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

I think everyone is agreed that we don't want to use the Pilcrow
or reversed Pilcrow as the first letter of pandoc.  It should be
a separate logo.

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, and isn't obviously recognizable as a logo.
The suggestion to put it in a 45-degree rotated box is not
a bad one to explore.  But there might be other ways too of
avoiding confusion here.  It is also true that the non-filled
reversed Pilcrow is less likely to be mistaken in this way,
though it also has the drawback of looking more like a plain
letter P.  Not sure here.

Happy to accept redesign suggestions for the website.
I'm not a graphic designer and it has evolved organically.
But I do like the fact that it doesn't look like every
other website out there.
