TFT bellaire, it'll probably suffice, tho' I was rather hoping for a version of the "Camel book"-a-like icon... Thanx again, A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply]

Note that the Camel is an O'Reilly trademark. It looks like PerlMonks has permission to use it (judging by favicon). That means you can use it to link to PerlMonks, but it shouldn't be used to link to arbitrary Perl sites.	[reply]

Hi, I don't think that there is an official Perlmonks-Logo. The last attempts to create one are mostly dated 2001: Perlmonks Logo for sale cheap PM merchandise/icon design quest Powered by PerlMonks Icons Perlmonks Icons Pack 2 Out Now! OT? Monks Leftovers: Perlmonks Merchandise (e.g. Mousepads) Unfortunately, most links to images outside www.perlmonks.org are broken. Since there is no official logo yet, why not start a new PM-Logo design quest? Maybe the voting-booth or a derivative could be used to make the poll of a new (or vintage-logo - if excavated) somewhat democratic - allowing to broaden consensus and participation in the sense of Making Perl Monks a better place for newbies (and others)? Just an idea...	[reply]

The Perl Mongers website includes some questions about issues with their version of the Camel logo in their FAQ. Of course, the Perl Mongers logo is only authorized for PM groups to use.	[reply]

On my other computer I have two small icons of a hooded monk and "Perl Monk" text that I put together when I was trying to make an official PerlMonks group for LinkedIn. I'll upload those later. - tye	[reply]

Looking at my work in-progress, I now recall that I wasn't happy with the text part of it. I started out with a more stylish font but it looked rather muddy, especially when I went to the smaller size. So I switched to a clunkier (not anti-aliased, not Italicized) font and planned to make some by-hand adjustments. But I never finished the by-hand adjustments and didn't get beyond looking at smaller versions. So, I'm pretty happy with the drawing and you can see the current state at /images/perlmonkIcon50.jpg. The font should be stretched a bit taller in-part to open up the holes in the "P" and "e" and the space reduced between the letters of "Monk" so it looks less crowded. Then I'd probably do some by-hand shading adjustments for more roundness (especially the "r"), to soften the shadow, and to clarify the "M". Finally, I like the colors but adjustments are probably required because I'm sure we have Perl Monks harboring a near-irrational antipathy against a color that might be construed as pink. - tye	[reply]
