I think it's a logo for Rakudo = Parrot + Perl6. One set of ideas is: 6 Rakudo P where: ---- A) 'Rakudo' is an elegent, textual representation of "rakudo" (6 on P) B) 6 is the perl6 logo -- larry's camelia butterfly, a palm tree, benzene, camelia flower ... C) P is the existing parrot logo ---- Let's look at what might be done with those (not to exclude any other ideas, of course). The textual part (A) would probably used standalone. The other two parts are already appropriate for that. Further more any of (depending on the design): D) 6P E) P super-imposed on top of 6 F) P speaking 6 might be used as mini logos. > > separate logos for Perl on Linux and Perl on Windows. > > Or, to look at it a different way, I thought the definition of Rakudo > *is* that it's "Perl 6 on Parrot". > > Additionally, while you recommended Camelia for Rakudo, my > understanding was that Larry was recommending it for Perl 6 rather than > Rakudo. I think he was offering it as an example and a suggestion. The perl6 community might favor it out of respect for Larry but I think he went out of his way to make it clear that it's the kind of thing he would like. The mini-logo ideas E and F would not work well with the Camelia butterfly but I don't think that's an important consideration. These things tend to take on a life of their own after they are finally designed. -- --gh
