Re: [AUCTeX] Logo for AUCTeX: request for ideas

[Vincent Belaïche]

Hello Mosè,

Not surprisingly, I fully agree with you, concerning the previous version being 
better. Not because of simplicity, but because the TeX part should look as much 
as possible as the standard \TeX logo. Also the community logo is about 
community, and is less well known as Emacs splash screen logo.

What I reproach the current version (that in 
http://www.dmf.unisalento.it/~giordano/auctex-index.html) with, is that it does 
not enough recall us of Emacs (just the colored E, right, but what is the 
connection to Emacs ?). 

Maybe, graphically, the AUC part should be made Emacs-ish. In Luis Fernandes's 
splash screen logo 
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/Emacs-logo.svg) there are 
already letter a and c that are found alos in AUC, so we could reuse that and 
just create the u. Another alternative would be to use the font in which emacs 
is written in the Emacs community logo.

   Vincent.
