ASMNGCL isn't pronounceable. That is the only flaw I can see.

So? You don't abbreviate greatness like "Awesome Space Monkey Ninja Game Coding Lib." Every letter is just as important as the one before it! Maybe more important!

All hail "b" then, eh?

Actually, if you follow the logic, you discover that "z" is the greatest letter. Lowercase "z", to be precise, because on most lists that show both upper and lower case, the lower case comes last.

Oh, you are referring to the whole of the ASCII table then? I assumed you meant only the truly god-like name. In that case, wouldn't delete, being the last ASCII character, be the true god? It does have the power to kill everything that comes after it, to there can be no greater...

A universe outside of ASCII? You have just outstretched the far-reaching corners of my mind.

And that is the UTF-128 character representing the dvd drive in Microsoft's XBox 360. Don't ask me how they got themselves their own glyph, but they managed -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

Why the fuck do you need a 128 bit encoding? UCS-16 (Aka 16bit unicode) can handle more than enough, and UCS-32 can handle EVERYTHING KNOWN TO MAN. There are not more than 32 million character entities... Try making a single font for that, I dare you -- |

As well as a logo, we should have a mascot. For inspiration, check out this thread. AE. -- |

One thing Allegro needs is a small Icon like logo. Something that isn't ugly, and easily recognizable, that can be used as a favicon for browsers, allegro's default exe icon, and other uses. -- |

Someone (I think spellcaster) made a post not long ago about gui stuff in the programming forum. I don't really remember exactly what it was about, but I do remember there was a screenshot and on the bottom right corner there was a logo of Allegro that looked really sweet. Edit: I think it was in this thread, but the screenshot doesn't seem to be there anymore. |

Spellcaster said: Adobe Creative Studio 3 (standard) a couple of days ago Try The GIMP, you can do the same, it includes many nice scripts for logo creation. By the way, it is open source and free. GNU rules. |

Don't know why anyone's expecting the prodigal logo to turn up. Why not just use one's that's been made already. Spellcaster's one in his first posts rocks - it's got a timeless quality in that it wouldn't wind you up after a few months.

Hey I was just looking at the word allegro and I came up with strange riddle : What do you get if you take the alcohol out of lo alcohol lager ? allegro (because the letters lo and lager rearrange to allegro). Feel free to boo me off stage

Problem is, I don't create logos hat often. And for the jobs I need photoshop for, the gimp would suck -- |
