Should Hackers Get Their Own Logo?

Posted by simoniker on from the indicate-on-your-fingers dept.

Ridgelift writes "Eric S. Raymond is proposing a new logo for Hackerdom. 'The Linux folks have their penguin and the BSDers their demon. Perl's got a camel, FSF fans have their gnu and OSI's got an open-source logo. What we haven't had, historically, is an emblem that represents the entire hacker community of which all these groups are parts. This is a proposal that we adopt one - the glider pattern from the Game of Life.'"

    Sure. Even anarchists have a logo, for god's sake!

    Are we talking about the "peace sign"?

    Ha...

    No, the A with a circle around it...

    Are we talking about the "peace sign"? If we do get a logo, it will become trendy, probably in a way worse than all-your-base and "profit!" and the like and then...

    Doesn't he mean that stupid A in a circle?
