First, off, thank you, everybody, for your suggestions. I really appreciated
them. :)

Here's the latest version of the logo. I tried everybody's ideas, but only
got around to implementing the following changes:

a) Color-sheme
b) Slight changes in sizes
c) Slight change in rotation of the ellipse, to better mimic a real eye.

Once again, thank you everybody for the suggestions leading to the current
stage of the image.

I'm also providing a black and white version of it, so you can get a gander
at that, and I also added the text "POV-Ray" so you can see what it looks
like with it. It isn't actually part of the logo. It's only there to show
that the logo doesn't need it, it's simply a redundant complement to those
who know it, and it tells first-timers to what program it belongs.

The color scheme on this one is much better, it doesn't look 
water-related any more. :-)
It still looks like a hydrogen atom to me though, did you try the 
torus-surrounding-sphere idea for the pupil and iris? You could make a 
black(or electric blue) pupil, and a blue iris. The iris could be an 
outline for the black and white version, maybe with radial lines.

And maybe red lightning emanating from the center, to represent the 
bloodshot eyes we have after staying up too late tweaking settings. :-)

Yes, but good colors escaped me, so I forgot about it.

Oh, so *now* you want blue? ;)  It sounds like that would make it overly
complex.

O... K... I don't think that's the image we want to show... this logo
represents an ideal situation, not reality. ;)

Maybe you could add some shadow to the iris ( as you did to the lettering)
to give more depth to the picture.

I made an attempt, see the attached image. No black/white version yet, 
though it would be pretty simple.

Well, not "sky blue" or "water blue", dark purplish electric blue. 
Something to say "high tech", not "fresh, pure water". :-)


> It sounds like that would make it overly complex.

It would just be an additional circle in the black/white version, and 
would make it look a lot more like an eye.

Hm.

IMO, it gets over-done. The logo looks good with just two elements. More
would corrupt it, especially at low-res. It sorta looks more like an eye,
but I find it somewhat too less stylized; it like loses some of its
easyness.

Oh, well.

Simen.

Greetings!

This effect is a supplement to the "grep 'logo' /etc/collectedWisdom" 
thread on povray.general.

Premise:  Rather than a given logo with a set colour scheme, why not an 
_effect_ which can be bundled in an .inc and rendered into any scene?

All due credit to TonyB.

    That's what I was trying to say all along. -Something- that can be
subtly introduced to each scene that will tip people off as to what they are

Would you mind rendering one of these in black and white with some phong on
the black? I'm thinking that would look best with this logo, I'm but not

This is by far the best one that I have seen here! To be quite honest,
I was getting pretty sick of logos, and none of them seemed
appropriate for use - until now. This one is perfect. Can someone
announce a winner please?   :)

I have even seen some of your later variations, created for Chris Huff
I believe, and this one is still better by far. I've attached a
slightly different black and white version to this message. I simply
converted your full color file to black and white, without dithering,
and this is what I got. I like it a bit better than your black and
white variation. This one still has highlights visible. Let me know
what you think of it.

Later,
Glen Berry

I think you're the only one saying this. I never thought "hydrogen
atom" when I saw it, even though I *do* understand why you might say
that.

I appears that creating a logo everyone really likes will be only
slightly easier than achieving a sustainable cold fusion reaction.

Aw, c'mon, don't exaggerate. I'm sure that there might be a better one out
there. (Please don't post it, anyone.)  ;)

Like I said, this is one variation, the other is another. It's up to you
guys to decide where this goes.

It does look better. I've been extracting my b&w versions from the inverse
of the alpha channel. I'll stop doing that now. :)

    I was starting to worry about this too. With all the attention given
this one logo, what will those people who have been working quietly on the
side be thinking. Perhaps the best logo will never be posted because it's
author thinks that a decision has already been made.

    I can't see anyway around it since we all want comments on our work and
we all want to comment on work we like. But I think that announcements of
preference should wait until we at least have submission rules.
