This [[apple]] logo is a basic update of [[IBM]]'s classic "I like APL" promotional, but with the leaf styled as a filled [[Del]] which symbolises [[function]] definition and has been used in application icons for [[APL+]] and [[APLX]]. The colours comes from [[IBM]]'s modern '''Carbon''' design to honour IBM's role APL's history. The script lettering commemorates APL's origins as handwritten notation and at the same time symbolises the ease with which APL is written. On dark backgrounds, the lettering would be produced in white rather than black. The logo also exists as a filled green version. | This [[apple]] logo is a basic update of [[IBM]]'s classic "I like APL" promotional, but with the leaf styled as a filled [[Del]] which symbolises [[function]] definition and has been used in application icons for [[APL+]] and [[APLX]].

For good and for bad, [[Dyalog Ltd]] has already adopted a slight variation of this for use as the [[APL Seeds]] logo (user meetings, events and information specifically for new APLers) – [https://www.dyalog.com/apl-seeds-user-meetings/aplseeds21.htm see here for an example] and the detail makes it harder to shrink. Some think the filled version is more reminiscent of a bell pepper than an apple. | |||
