Re: [Texmacs-dev] texmacs icon: web page

[Gubinelli Massimiliano]

Alvaro,
 I agree on the fact that a iconic image for the program should be as  
simple as possible. The 3d stuff is mainly tought for an application  
icon on the Mac. Standard Mac application icons (those from apple for  
example) are quite realistic and I wanted to explore the possibility  
to shape an icon for texmacs using the idea of composition of old  
metal types recalling a possible logo made with the tau and mu  
letters. My attempts to shape realistic metal types with Inkscape are  
not quite successfuls. I just added another theme which is that of  
using the TXM logo inside a yellow diamond sign (which is used in US  
for custom road signs as far as I understand).

I like the idea of using the greek letters to shape a gnu but maybe  
there are better alternatives.

It is true that any of the TM logos resembles more an elephant than a  
gnu....

ps: tamiz = ?
