In my eyes it makes look like it's an extremist left revolutionary group...

== Cube apple comment by [[User:Mlliarm|Mlliarm]] ([[User talk:Mlliarm|talk]]) ==
I like this very much:
- it has the apple looking design, so here's the connection with the past
- the apple looks like a design from a cubist painter, and very modern, so here's the connection to the present and the future. Also being a cube,  it has a strong reference to the basic data structure of the language (array) and suggests that APL works with n-dimensional data too
- finally, it has the curvy APL name in the center that looks good to the eyes, makes it very clear of how the language is called plus it introduces the newcomers to their first three glyphs: Lamp Rho Floor.
Very strong contestant too imho.
== Letters From the Cube comment by [[User:John niss hansen|John niss hansen]] ([[User talk:John niss hansen|talk]]) ==
I like this logo based on a plyomino and coded in APL
== Letters From the Cube comment by [[User:AplProgrammer148|AplProgrammer148]] ([[User talk:AplProgrammer148|talk]]) ==
I like this because it showcases APL's array-oriented programming.
== 50 years apple comment by [[User:Bill Early|Bill Early]] ([[User talk:Bill Early|talk]]) ==
If I may make a suggestion...
- Use the same general shape of this logo
- Red apple, not green
- Maybe a little green leaf or two
- No worm
- "APL" in the thicker 2741-like font, like in a nearby logo
== Parallel lines comment by [[User:RLevine|RLevine]] ([[User talk:RLevine|talk]]) ==
The basic design is strong. A font designer could simplify the letters inside the black parallel lines, perhaps while keeping the parallel lines motif in the letters.
