Dec 2, 2010 at 18:00 comment added Raphael If so then by arbitrary definition. Files can always be changed.
Dec 2, 2010 at 13:57 comment added Giorgio Camerani @Raphael: Cool ;-) I like that! But I'm wondering if these discussions here are still meaningful: isn't the site GUI now definitive?
Dec 1, 2010 at 10:43 comment added Raphael Maybe: $\{?,!\}^+$
Nov 29, 2010 at 9:35 comment added Giorgio Camerani @Raphael: Yes I agree with you. I can make a further proposal, adding a "feedback ring" (i.e. just an edge) to the question state. I'm also trying to imagine a less straightforward way to do that (i.e. how to give the same message in a more creative manner).
Nov 29, 2010 at 8:35 comment added Raphael I like this idea. Given the mechanics resp. use of the site, how about including an edge from answer to question? It happens quite regularly that answers create new questions.

Oct 18, 2010 at 23:19 comment added arnab Again, agreed with getting rid of the tapes. Also, maybe change the "!" to a lightbulb?
Oct 18, 2010 at 19:49 comment added Robin Kothari I agree with getting rid of the tapes too. Just one DFA with the word "cstheory" written over the transition arc from ? to ! would be cleaner and yet convey the same message. Also it would be smaller, and so would fit more easily. Maybe the ! state should be the accepting state of the DFA? (i.e., it should have a double circle instead of a single one)
Oct 18, 2010 at 19:44 comment added Suresh Venkat Mod agreed. ditch the tape...
Oct 18, 2010 at 19:35 comment added Kaveh Nice job, but I found the simpler version (no Turing tapes, two states represented by signs ? and ! on the same level and just one arrow) more appealing. Not only it is a automata theory logo, it is also using signs from linear logic so also covers Theory B.
Oct 18, 2010 at 19:34 comment added Jukka Suomela I like the ?/! box. No need for the tapes. What if you just take a (scaled-down version, with thicker lines) of the ?/! box and added the text "cstheory" on its right side?
Oct 18, 2010 at 18:51 comment added Giorgio Camerani @Robin: We could add some fade at the left and right ends of the tapes. Also, we may add some further graphics/symbols inside the big box.
Oct 18, 2010 at 18:48 comment added Giorgio Camerani @Robin: I can shrink it down to a reasonable size. Its simple graphics should allow it to be shrinked without loosing details. Here I've presented a bigger version just to give an idea. I wonder if people likes it or not.
Oct 18, 2010 at 17:01 comment added Robin Kothari Maybe that's a bit too big for a logo? It should fit in the little space we have at the top left corner.
