As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, APL does not have a logo like many other programming languages do. After a consensus at their September 9th 2021 [[BAA webinar|webinar]], [[BAA]] will head an effort to adopt a universal [[vendor]]-agnostic logo for APL. This article collects draft proposals for the universal APL logo. Feel free to [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=edit&section=1}} add your own].
As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, APL does not have a logo like many other programming languages do (see examples on the right). After a consensus at their September 9th 2021 [[BAA webinar|webinar]], [[BAA]] will head an effort to adopt a universal [[vendor]]-agnostic logo for APL.

The choice of logo should be done while keeping in mind that it is intended for branding demonstrations, presentations, systems, documentation, and other visual materials. Its core purpose is to proclaim that "this is APL in action", thereby the language. Furthermore, it should work as a [[wikipedia:favicon|favicon]] (possibly slightly modified to fit the technical constraints) as well as in banners, including on both dark and light backgrounds. It is also beneficial if the chosen logo can easily be adapted to a monochrome form, for usage in printed materials, stencils, and existing designs.
 
The ideal logo will signal that:
# ''this algorithm/product/person/company uses APL'' for increased brand recognition
# ''APL is a programming language'' as opposed to any of the other things named [[wikipedia:APL|APL]]
# ''APL is a sophisticated IT tool'' which delivers tangible benefits


For reference, the logos of a selection of other programming languages are illustrated here.
This article collects draft proposals for the universal APL logo, and you can [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=edit&section=1}} add your own] until the end of 2021.
