I assumed that the "sombrero" logo on the octave web page (and the one that
A.S. Hodel just sent) is the accepted logo for octave. Unfortunately while it
is a nice logo to put on a web page or title page of a book, it just has too
high level of details to be a small logo to put on say "Start" menu in a desktop
manager. So I can see two possibilities here. We can continue to pursue
math-related image or we can allude ("tongue-in-cheek") to the name of
the curve in the "main" logo ("sombrero"). The logo does not have to
tell people
what the software does, as long as the logo is well-recognizable.
After all Tux the penguin does just fine for Linux.
