As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, APL does not have a logo like many other programming languages do. After a consensus at their September 9th 2021 webinar, [[BAA]] is heading an effort to adopt a universal [[vendor]]-agnostic logo for APL, using this page as a portal. Submission of concept work ran until the end of 2021, and voting for logos ran until 2022-02-10 at 16:15 UTC. | As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, APL does not have a logo like many other programming languages do.

Ignoring obvious spam votes, the clear winner was [[#Nested_Bitmaps|Nested Bitmaps]]. For a second place, [[#APL_Matrix|APL Matrix]] seems to have won, unless counting [[#Lamp_Box|Lamp Box]] and [[#Lamp_Rho_Downstile_Box|Lamp Rho Downstile Box]] are counted as a single proposal for small-size and larger uses respectively. | ||
It was decided to go with the Nested Bitmaps concept for now, with APL Matrix as a backup in case Nested Bitmaps is found to conflict with [[wikipedia:Apple Inc.#Logo|Apple Inc.'s logo]]. It was also observed that Lamp Box, modified to have sharp corners and a darker background, could be seen as the bottom left part of APL Matrix, for use at small sizes. | It was decided to go with the Nested Bitmaps concept for now, with APL Matrix as a backup in case Nested Bitmaps is found to conflict with [[wikipedia:Apple Inc.#Logo|Apple Inc.'s logo]].
