Re^2: A logo for Perl

[sri]

These are just first drafts, i was expecting to refine (or even redraw) them based on feedback from the Perl 6 decision makers.
Everything would have been possible, sadly there is no interest and i'm giving up now, the logos will not get finished.

Here's an adapted version for the upcoming July 29 release of Rakudo Star: http://www.audreyt.org/rakudo-camelia-sri.png :-)

I'm sorry to hear that, I think your design showed a lot of promise. Is this a case of nobody in a position of influence wanting to hurt Larry's feelings? Because the current logo is just awful. Unprofessional, ugly, it reinforces many of the unfortunate negative stereotypes about perl that I hear from other programmers. And I really think the official logo for Perl 6 should really be something that's open to debate

No; plenty of people have expressed opinions of Camelia both pro and con. (I like Camelia, and not only because it annoys people to the point of threatening never to use Perl 6.)

I really think the official logo for Perl 6 should really be something that's open to debate.

Go ahead and debate it with Larry then. Good luck.
