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]] is heading an effort to adopt a universal [[vendor]]-agnostic logo for APL, using this page as a portal. | |||
'''''Note:''' While the voting for an APL logo concept has begun, there is plenty of time to cast your votes. It is highly recommended that you take the time to familiarise yourself with the following before you vote:'' | |||

| 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. | |||

A [[wikipedia:ranked voting|ranked voting]] election for 5 final candidate concepts out of the submitted 25 concepts is running until 2022-02-10 at 16:15 UTC (which is during the [[BAA Webinar]]). It should be noted that the the listed candidates are not considered final designs; exact execution, including any choices of colour and fonts, will be decided at a later stage. | |||
