I posted about this earlier today with an image attachment, but I guess
messages with attachments are not allowed on cls. Anyway, I came up
with a logo for the Sport project:

What do you think? :-)

Dear Bruce,
I think it's a cheerful, easily-recognisable logo.

I assume it will never need to be recognised outside a specific
Smalltalk-coding group. It will be taken for the logo of a
cruise-organising holiday company by most people and even Smalltalkers are
likely to 'get' the square brackets only _after_ they've recognised the
logo, but I assume that hardly matters. This is a logo for the Smalltalk
world.

If it were ever necessary to make a logo of this kind shout "it's a block"
to a wider group of people, you could make the square brackets more
noticeable via colour or you could try sticking 'value' (or 'value: <other
logo>) to its right. I don't think that's necessary here and only mention
it because I think the 'icon in a block' logo is an idea that may see reuse.

Yours faithfully
Niall Ross

Good point... just like the [pen] logo used by James on his community
blog page.
The Sport logo is nice and it's a great way to leverage (and
popularize) the block logo.
