From Wikipedia:
the Old Norse name Ásketill, from ans "god" and ketill "cauldron".
Would be cool to substitute a lambda for a god 😉 and a cauldron as a co-mascot for the project could be a lot of fun ...
@jgrosso it would perhaps be nice to hear your inspiration for the name 😄
Haskell SVG logo:
Here's what I used for general Haskell Lisp years ago:
That's a wide colour spectrum ... so it might be nice to tighten up the range a bit, desaturate, etc. I'll explore.
@oubiwann Thanks for the interest! There is actually a logo on axellang.github.io (any feedback is welcome, of course)... I should add it to the GitHub README too :-P
The name’s origin is mostly just that it rhymes with Haskell (and sounds cool in my opinion).
(EDIT: I accidentally misclicked and closed this issue, but it’s reopened now.)
Oh, weird -- how did I miss that?! (the logo on the web site)
/me takes another ponder ...
So, being a Lisper, I'm always going to love the parens ;-)
A possible alternative is to pull in more of the visual design from Haskell, so I did a few edits of your original .svg
and then took a look in-context (light version and a subdued version):
If you like these, I can commit to the branch I created (I've also pulled your original logo into this branch -- committed with you as author 😉 ).
(btw, if you're happy with the current and quite nice parens logo, you may close this without any risk of offending me!)
Here are two SVG logos-with-text (btw, love that you selected the Audiowide font -- I used that for the LFE site and the LFE conference presentation/slide templates for talks, too):
I tried to emulate what you did with the text for the light and dark versions on the web site (different relative sizes of the ")(" and the text).
Hi! So sorry for the long delay—I've been super-busy with school.
I gotta say, those alternative logos are amazing. I've recently become aware of a similarity with the current logo and that of Hurley's, so it might be time for a change in the near future 😛
Thanks so much for putting the time into making such awesome designs! (I won't ever use them without ensuring your permission and correct attribution, of course.)
