Has a chameleon been suggested? That would try to evoke an important aspect of the language. Maybe, as Steve suggested, as an animated gif of changing colors....<br><br>Charles<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 2:23 PM, Daniel Weinreb <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dlw@itasoftware.com">dlw@itasoftware.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Indeed, the "Lisp is as old as the dinosaurs" is a real problem,<br>
and they really didn't stand that way.<br>
<br>
What we need is something that connotes power, since Lisp<br>
is a powerful language, and we need something that really<br>
does stand that way. How about Godzilla?<br>
<br>
Unforunately, not too many images of him are taken<br>

<br>
and it doens't really solve the "dinosaur" problem.<br>
I'd still go for the "alien technology" guy. I won't<br>
send any more mail about this; it's too silly.<br>
