"...I still consider Logo to be the perfect marriage..."

Sure. But the kid refused it. His favorite game is World Of Tanks. The website of Logo was too infantile for him ;-) The first impression matters.

The website of Logo was too infantile for him Yep, the whole thing is not very cool these days. I had a book about Logo which was a comic-book for all purposes. That was a very cool way of learning to program back then. I doubt it will raise more than a chuckle from one of today's kids.
