  • It's easy picking on things you don't like, when you don't actually have to face the people you're talking to. You can be a douchebag to whoever you want.

    • I'm more than willing to talk about the things that suck about that logo and how to improve it face to face. I'm in Sydney, Australia. My name is Andres N. Kievsky. I'd be more than pleased to show what can be done, what can be improved, and why that's a bad logo, from my point of view and experience.

      My main concern is that it looks like a joke; it's not a logo I can be proud of, the overuse of primary colours has been long associated with primary school and first steps.

      The round forms and happy face denote humanity, which has very little to do with technology. The butterfly itself seems a rendering of a young child; it does not resemble a real butterfly.

      The P and 6 on the wings are in the wrong colours; they can't be easily seen in many screens.

      I can go on. I'm willing to do it face to face. Even to an audience.

      • Yes, but that's not the way it came across, if that's not already clear from the responses you received. The vast majority of your responses were against Perl 6 itself, not the website.

        I am glad to see you at least positively responding to pmichaud and maybe helping out a little too.

      • Whoops, take that back. Apparently you aren't willing to help out. Sorry to read that, but no great loss, you're only bringing anger (incoherent anger at that) to the table anyway.

        • Damian Conway, on the thread I quoted:

          "Not so keen on "braintricity"; though it does lead to other ideas.

          For example, perhaps we could update:

          Perl 5 is the duct tape of the internet

          to:

          Perl 6 is the neurotransmitter of the semantic web"

          Would you like to work with someone like this? Who is incoherent here?

          • Damian Conway...

            Would you like to work with someone like this? Who is incoherent here?

            If Damian's reading this I'm sure he would agree, just maybe not on who's incoherent.

            • That's pretty much irrelevant. I dare you to say that out loud in a business meeting to a potential client.
        • As I said, I'm willing to help fix the butterfly. I have seen no replies to that.

          • As I said, I'm willing to help fix the butterfly. I have seen no replies to that.

            Um, do you mean this reply [perl.org] to pmichaud, where you said you wouldn't send anything? No mention of a butterfly there...

            Really, this is getting old. Reply away. You apparently need, nay relish, the last word, and it appears to always be argumentative and contrarian. I've now learned there is no point in continuing to converse with you.

            • I mean this very same thread. I am willing to meet and help design a new butterfyl/logo, to the best of my limited abilities. Or at the bvery least point out the issues, and how they can be solved.
