Profile image for organization

[adius]

The AsciiMath organization needs a profile image!
I made this one:

I don't have the permissions so maybe someone of you can upload it in case you like it!?

Great idea. I can upload it but @jipsen and @drlippman should weigh in on the design.

(sidenote: I've always wondered about the "official" spelling for the wordmark; ASCIIMath(ML), AsciiMath(ML), asciimath(ml) etc)

[adius]

I'd definitely vote for AsciiMath. The ML ending is mostly used by xml languages, so I guess we shouldn't use it. Furthermore AsciiMath is already long enough =P
ASCIIMath is weird because you have 6 capital letters in a row.
AsciiMath is also the spelling which is used throughout the whole Mathjax documentation.

[drlippman]

I've always viewed AsciiMath as the syntax, and AsciiMathML as Peter's rendering script for that syntax.  So I think AsciiMath is more appropriate in this context. 

I believe Peter writes it ASCIIMath, since ASCII is an acronym, but I personally prefer AsciiMath.

Done.

Hm... Now that I see it live as GitHub avatar I have second thoughts on the specific realization of the design ;-(

[adius]

=D just thought exactly the same. We need to come up with a simple logo to make it look good in all sizes…

Glad to read that. I did not want to leave the impression that I didn't appreciate your work!

[pkra]

Maybe stack it?

Yeah that should definitely be better. Let's try it out:

Done.
