If any logo, I prefer the b/w version! I never print music sheets with a colour printer.

I'll send it anyway privately to Malte and Kieren who have shown interest for it but, of course, I'll send it to all of you on demand.Hi Malte, Hi AllHere's a first attempt to produce a vectorialised logo.
The file uses the new v2.19 markup path syntax.
I've reduced the number of colors so the image is a combination of 46 layers/colors.Still, and as already pointed, the file is pretty heavy (649 ko/ca. 8400 lines) so I cannot send it through the list.
Comments are welcome.Attached is a screen shot of the following test :
\version "2.19.46"
\include "logo.ily"
%% Syntax is \markup\logo #size
%% Test:
\markup\logo #5
If there are some interest, I'll try to draw an optional b/w logo
HTH.
Cheers,Pierre

The concept is fine I am sure, but the execution difficult, and acceptance
problematical.
I know it’s difficult but does that mean one cannot try?
Logo design is fraught with difficulty, and you will inevitably end up with
something half the population does not like.
I think that might be realistic but not problematic. If someone doesn’t like the logo, they don’t have to use it; of course it would be nice to have something that is at least acceptable for most people.
And this argument works also for the current logo (an image of a waterlily flower, two leaves, and a score in the background): It’s a nice picture, but I don’t like it as a logo because it cannot be used in print (at least in small sizes).
I agree,
but since there already *is* a logo,
wouldn't it be acceptable to "simply" make it a b/w vectorialised
version of it?
That would be nice but I doubt one can make a convincing b/w version of that. Even if you leave out the background it’s a very complex image. And even if you manage to make a b/w version of that it’s not usable at small sizes.
