As Alvaro pointed out, it is not necessary to have the exact same logo at all size, or is it ?

There could be variations to simplify them at smaller sizes. To get recognized at small sizes, I think 

icons need only have original colors that stand out, like 13 or 14. But the others are very nice too.

For example, a small #9 could be cropped to be a little bigger (no need for shading at this size), 

keeping only tau and mu to fill up the sign. Also, roundish is significantly more legible for isoperimetric inequality reasons.

Keeping the 3-letter diamond-shaped for bigger icons.

Similar changes can be done on others.

I think that the current logo is very well crafted. The negative point is that it has nothing to do with the software: does not convey any idea of simplicity or power or beauty which are caracteristic of texmacs. It can be a logo for a chip design software, or for a number crunching app, but I do not see how it fits with texmacs and with the image we want to have for this software. This said, I have difficult time to make something which has the same visual appeal in any situation...

Actually, i agree with you : the current is not bad too. It could be modified (slightly)...

I like # 9, too. But I also like the current texmacs logo.

Best,

Peter.

It is possible to use a variation of the main theme for icons, as long
as it is recognizable. This could also be the approach for the 'made
with TeXmacs' stamp. The simpler designs are those best suited for an
icon, in a high-contrast variant.
