Re: GNU Prolog Logo

[Benjamin L . Russell]

Last night, I thought about a logo for GNU Prolog, and came up with
the following design:

1. Consider the present application logo for GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (see
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/Emacs-icon-48x48.png).

2. Edit the cursive 'E' in the logo, and change it to the 'P' in
Zapfino font printed on line 4 of page 10 of the following online
paper:

"There is no end: Omega and Zapfino" (article on Zapfino which
includes comparison of typed text with and without ligatures as a
flipbook)
http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb24-2/tb77adams.pdf

3. Use this design as the new logo for GNU Prolog.

Since I'm not a graphics designer, it would be difficult to use
graphics design software to create the desired image.

Could somebody on this mailing list who is familiar with graphic
design possibly edit and post this logo on this mailing list?  I think
it could possibly be a good counterpart to the cursive 'E' used in the
logo for GNU Emacs.  This logo would be useful in symbolizing GNU
Prolog, especially on Windows installations, and make the installation
seem more professional, especially for Windows users.
