Flash, ActionScript and stuff…

ActionScript logo

posted by negush

I’m not dead yet… Just couldn’t find the “inspiration” for writing this past month. Also, I’m working on the design of my future main web page (give me a break, I’m not a designer, I’m programmer).

Anyway, yesterday I was browsing through some Flash/ActionScript sites/blogs, looking for a logo for ActionScript for my new website and/or blog (I’m not sure yet how or where I will embed it – if I will embed it at all) and came across this blog entry from polygeek. Apparently he too would like to see Adobe come up with a logo for ActionScript.

I too feel like there should be some graphical representation of this language (other than the file icon). I know programming languages don’t really have logos, but, come on… what’s another logo for Adobe ? (among the number of logos it has for all the other stuff). And since ActionScript is the language for Flash, Flex and AIR, I feel it should have a rightful place among Adobe’s other technologies by having its own logo.

So far, polygeek’s logo is the best I’ve found (and I really like it) and actually I couldn’t really find another one. So maybe if enough people start using a logo (not necessarily this one) then Adobe will take notice. Who knows ?? Until then, here’s polygeek’s logo: http://polygeek.com/images/family_of_skills/ActionscriptIcon.zip. He actually put the .psd file at our disposal in case we would like to have it. Thank you polygeek.
