Logo for data.table #1237

I think data.table deserves a nice logo. E.g. a sea-lion saying arr-arr. ;-)

... could you make its height the same as its width? ... how does it look if the stuff below the block is also looking block-like instead of 2d?

Will make a variant that's square later today

Thanks for all the input everyone! Decided to make a decision. I asked around people who don't know what the project is and showed the various images above. The main feedback was that the name of the package needs to be present clearly in strong font. I have fond memories of sea lion from the MC at the conference dinner at the first useR! I attended (LA 2014) which I think I might have told Gabor before and I guess he picked up on it and filed this issue. Table with := syntax as legs was inspired @leeper! So it's now on the homepage and links to stickermule. On the smaller icon I've tried to create a favicon for the homepage for bookmarks, but http://r-datatable.com is just a web forward. There's no way to set a favicon for a forward (I asked domainmonster.com support as well and they confirmed) since there's no way on guthub to set your own favicon. If we ever go for an independent homepage, can come back to that then. If there's a way to change bookmark icons manually in Chrome or other browsers then we could make an icon available for people to do that. I'm not sure many would though if it's manual. I hunted for a solution but couldn't find even a low level way to change a bookmark icon in Chrome. So thanks again @gaborcsardi and everyone! We now have a logo!

Cool!

@mattdowle Btw. I am planning on supporting logos on METACRAN. All you would need to do is putting a PNG of appropriate size in the released package, at a specified place within inst.

I'll let you know once I decide about the details.
