You're at least the second person who has proposed a logo for Forth.

I guess what I'm missing here is why a language even needs a logo.  I
can see a particular implementation of Forth possibly having a logo,
but why does Forth itself need a logo?  What purpose would it serve?
What other languages have logos associated with them, and what
benefits have users or vendors of the language had because of it?

I think Forth needs a whole lot more than a logo.

You won't understand it unless you understand the concept of a disk block.
;)

You see, what you see in fort in vast majority of the time
is disk blocks with language statement on your screen.
So, when it first comes up,
you better see a good Forth logo.
Else, it is almost a herecy not to see that.

What language you know that you even don't know
what it is when you exectute it?

Yep, you need a good logo!
Real fast now,
cause that munsta has been declared as awaken
a couple of days ago.
The money should be filling in the coffers real soon now.

Nope, it does not.
That is why it is forth.

It already has the most distinctive characteristics.

And it has never intended to become a monster,
like other modern languages.
It has beauty of its own.

	TeX has a logo.  And goodness don't all of the major platforms
for TeX.  Of course, not a picture logo, because it's a typesetting
system: a ``games with print'' logo.  I think that the logo for Forth
should be

	Forth, OK?

It's also a visual palindrome too -- it looks the same upside down too!
