I got a shot at this and this gives the following. What we should do: - ensure the [|] shape has the gold ratio (so it is naturally attractive). - make sure the square is positioned so that the golden ratio is also all over the place. Color wise, I went for blue because Smalltalk has a natural elegance and goes for no crap. Phil On Wed, May 3, 2017 at 12:49 PM, horrido <horrido.hobbies@gmail.com> wrote:

A decade+ ago I created the one attached, and I've seen used in some Smalltalk related sites. I still like it but it can be done better.
*[|]* seems to be a popular choice. I got two votes for this at LinkedIn.
It looks rather plain to me, though. It lacks sizzle.
Maybe the best way to settle this is to have a Smalltalk logo competition. People can submit their logo designs and a panel of judges can decide on the best one. The winning entry would be the "official" Smalltalk logo.
For the panel of judges, I would like representatives from each of the following:
o ESUG o the Pharo project o the Squeak project (Alan Kay?) o Cincom o Instantiations o GemTalk
Of course, my stylized hot air balloon would be Logo Candidate Entry #1.
If you think this is a good idea, I'll start organizing it. The submission deadline for the competition would be July 18, 2017 (the first anniversary of my TechBeacon article, " How learning Smalltalk can make you a better developer <https://techbeacon.com/how-learning-smalltalk-can-make-you-better-developer> ").
