I really like Justin Whitton's POV-Ray logo.
If POV-Ray should have an official logo I think that should be it.

Attached are two versions of the logo that I've made. I've changed the
tangents so that they only just touches the little circle. In the original
version they intersected a little.

Do you think this should be the official POV-Ray logo? I mean not
necessarily these versions, but the basic design Justin Whitton came up
with?

Greetings,

Rune

This looks very similar to the Marathon logo...

Personally I don't like it much but I also have to admit that it has many of
the qualities of a good logo (BTW, I have been known not to like many good
and popular things...) It is clear, balanced and simple while having a kind
of obscurity that means that those in the know will get more out of it.

Because of the simplicity it can be put on a variety of objects without
interfering with the look of the object. If it or something like it becomes
accepted generally, it could help to improve the knowledge and use of
POV-Ray by using it to 'brand' images before distribution.  Not a bad idea
in general, for those interested...

I would say they look a little alike only.
A little ASCII art:
  _____
 // | \\
/ \_|_/ \
\  \|/  /
 \__V__/
 POV-Ray
  _____
 //   \\
/ \_ _/ \
\   |   /
 \__|__/
Marathon

If there isn't anything closer than that
I would say the POV-Ray logo is "safe".

Greetings,

Rune

Hmmm, hmmmmm.... okay, but drop the large outer circle part and use differing
textures (pigments or whatever) on the intended letters, otherwise it's too
obscure I'm afraid and won't stand out as recognizable to those unfamiliar with
POV-Ray.
Sorry, but that's how my opinion goes on it.

This might better show what I was getting at about the lettering visualization.
Or maybe just mess up the whole idea for that matter.

This looks remarkably like some of the symbols found in the game RIVEN!

I like it, the right one at least. It looks "catchy" in some way - it's a
symbol, and looks quite professional. It could need some more job on the
textures and the lightning (maybe another background as well), but it's in the
right direction.

It's important for all logos that they are
simple, so that they can be presented in many
different ways.

The image attached here shows the same logo,
only presented in a simpler way.

What I'm asking you is if you like the logo,
not if you like the way it's presented.

(just to avoid confusion)

Greetings,

Rune

So where is the simple, compact scene code that we can add to our
images if we want to...?
