I seem to remember that Intel didn't like it, when the "Linux Inside" logo came out.

Basically they contacted the author and told him to get rid of it. We don't see that parody logo so often, nowadays...

Those look awesome! If I made some icons, I wonder if some of them might look similar if it was ok to do.

Thanks for the feedback Beatnik!

Note: I sent Vroom a pm to let him know about this idea, maybe it could turn out to be a reality soon!

I think there's a TrueType Font somewhere which has alot of 'inside' spoofs... further investigation showed it's called devilinside. Check Google's results too.

Pretty nice--I might grab one of those for one of my own pages (after converting to PNG).

One of these even features vroom - without permission for now.

I really really really like the last one, even though it's recycled from someprevious stuff.

perl -e "$q=$_;map({chr unpack qq;H*;,$_}split(q;;,q*H*));print;$q/$q;"

cool.

i took a sabbatical from the monastery and, while i was gone, i was actually thinking along similar lines -- specifically, i was thinking of a spinning pearl with the word "perl" emblazoned on it. i'd like one with no extra text, but also making available with "powered by Perl" and "powered by perlmonks" taglines would be cool.

my two cents on the intel-like "Perl inside" logo: i'd rather not. it's not that clever a logo in the first place, and spoofing it just doesn't seem worthwhile. it was cute the first time i saw "big brother inside" but after that, i think it's gotten old. and really, the more you spoof something like that, the more you're acknowledging its power. and i'd rather not reinforce intel's domination of the market, ya know? besides which, perl isn't really in competition with intel. let intel have their logo. we've got the camel and, if we want it, the pearl.

okay, maybe that was more like a dime. anyway...

Ne margaritas obijce porcis.

Update OeufMayo pointed out that animations might be considered harmful, or at least tacky. probably for website-like purposes, the pearl should not be spinning. but if one were also *cough* working on a game written in perl, or some other inherently visually active situation, an animated pearl would not be over the top. so, perhaps, a place for such a thing could be found.
