Hi!
After the refreshing "my corporation is bigger than yours" (maybe I
should have entered at around 500.000[1]? But then again, how do you
count employees and sales/revenue nowadays, where most corporations
are not at all monolithic, but more or less intertwined. Do parent
companies count? Joint-ventures? Oh well, I was never very good at
these kinds of games...), now for something completely different:
As part of an effort to raise the "popular" profile of my clients
simulation project within the corporation (which should compare
favouribly with GlaxoWelcome), it has become necessary to design logos
and fact-sheets for the simulation package.
While whipping something up with The GIMP, I wondered whether there
was any kind of logos/art available for representing the use of
"Common Lisp Dynamic Object Technology(tm)"[2] <evil grin> in
fact-sheets, screen-savers, coffee-mugs, T-shirts and all the other
merchandising gear you are required to provide nowadays to get
customers interested in your products/services ;)
I'd appreciate all kinds of suggestions... ;)
Regs, Pierre.
Footnotes:
[1] Not to be misunderstood and/or sued: This is not the size of my
current client, but of a former client/employer.
[2] Hope I'm not infringing Franz's rights here, since I've got a dim
recollection seeing some adverts from Franz, which used similar
sounding language. Or was this in fact Harlequin? Seems there
another thing I'm not particularly good at.

Hmmm... it's looks kinda like "CMU ISP" with a watermelon slice and a
lambda in the middle.

I never claimed to be an artist :) I am open to criticism regarding my
sense of humor. Just remember that CMU Lisp stands for 'C'arnegie
'M'ellon University Lisp. :)

Being as I just read his post on GC vs. malloc (in the Copy thread) and
bounced off of his home page, there is a particularly intriguing little logo
on David Lamkins home page at http://www.teleport.com/~dlamkins/ .
Specifically, I sort of like the "Lambda Inside" logo (the Macintosh may not
be particularly relevant). Now, granted it's not Lisp specific, but it's
pretty darn close. It also may not be specific enough for what you want.
Anyhow, it's an idea.
