Hi, does anybody have the R logo in a vector format preferable SVG? Need it for Freedesktop (GNOME desktop) integration of Rcmdr ... Thanx, jel.

Not really. I played around with the tracer in inkscape at some point, but it didn't come out quite satisfactory. It's a bit of a time sink unless you happen to know inkscape (or similar) rather well, but if someone is willing to put in the effort, I'm sure the results would be more than welcome on CRAN.

As it happens, I made one with Inkscape a couple of months ago. If memory serves, I did 50 scans of the .png. http://people.ysu.edu/~gkerns/R-logo.svg Hope it is useful to you.

Thanks. Certainly looks better than what I had left around. A full megabyte might be a bit much for a desktop icon, though.

OK - thanx. Good source for studying its structure.

Yes and scaling would be too resource consuming as well (very bad for menus, etc.). I think, the most challenging part here is all the [different type of] shadows. So does anybody know, who made the original pixel based image? If not raytraced and steps for reproduction are available (e.g. gimp/psp layers), it should be possible to produce a less resource consuming but pretty close svg (at least at the given size ;-)). Regards, jel.

A while ago I played around with creating a new R logo using vector graphics. I took the current logo as a starting point. Here's some samples on different coloured backgrounds: http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/Graphics/Logo/R/logos.svg I figured maybe for R 3.0 it would be cool to have an R made from a 1 and a 2....

That's funny, when I saw your logo yesterday in google images I didn't see the 1 and 2 but rather thought it was showing a lambda for some reason. Personally, I've always been curious to unravel the elliptical construction hidden in that grey area surrounding R. That'd be a nice side-effect of having a 3D model in povray (*); we could rotate it and see the other side. Sadly I don't have the skill. I wonder if RGL or Blender could make this easier yet still reproducible. Best, baptiste (*) a neat example is at: http://www.imagico.de/pov/icons.html
