The Lojban Logo (which appears at the top left of Wiki pages.) Available also from la tsali's webpage: http://arj.nvg.org/lojban/jbosinxa.html
Discussion
- I suspect the logo has not been so used; does anyone know?
- Let me get this straight: both the symbols being spatially-perceptual ambiguities, they are appropriate for a logically-unambiguous language how?
- It's not. It's an appropriate symbol for the Anti-Lojban.
- nitcion:
- They are intended to illustrate how mind-blowing the Sapir-Whorf effects are, I think. At least, the Necker Cube is. But Paul Dounda expressed the same criticism in JL13.
- I agree about the Necker cube, but I always thought of this one as being just weird. I don't understand it at all. How is it ambiguous? What does it mean, besides just 'lojban'?
- The intersecting circles can be seen as ends of a cylinder two ways.
- nitcion:
- Guessing: Venn Diagram = Logic; Axes = ... Algebra? Cultural neutrality, via the four points of the compass? Sapir-Whorfesquery, as in "your mind can go anywhere, thanks to Lojban?"
- Jay:
- Someone who recognized the Lojban logo as being the Lojban logo, but didn't know what the parts were supposed to mean, asked "the two blue circles represent hemispheres of the earth and the arrows indicate the universality of Lojban?" about the best interpretation I've heard of it yet.
- .mark.:
- On a lighter note, I suppose you folks should see the Animated Lojban Logos I made a while ago, for fun (on another page because animated GIFs are Evil and should be placed someplace special.)
- Borromean rings were also proposed as Lojban logo.
