Well that's very kind of you; there's certainly plenty of scope for better graphic design of many of our tools. And indeed our website might benefit from some tweaking.
δm wondering if you are interested in a new logo for your project.
We've been happily using the current one for 22 years now, so probably not. Of course, I'm biased since I designed it.

don’t my let Tim put you off. We’d be delighted to have a look at your designs. Perhaps you could go something for the Cog logo for the opensmalltalk vm (used by Squeak and others): http://opensmalltalk.org/

Tim, I guess you referring to the Squeak logo ( http://www.rowledge.org/tim/squeak/files/page17_1.jpg) which is well established. But I don't think we've long had the OpenSmalltalk "Cog" logo ( http://opensmalltalk.org/static/img/cog.png/). While its workable, its but a bit "complicated" for a logo.
Now that we have Spur and Sista as technology components that extend Cog, it might be good to base a logo on more generic concepts that distinguish us: 1. message passing between objects 2. object-oriented execution engine
Are those reasonable? What other distinctions are important compared to other systems, and how should they be prioritized for a logo?

Indeed! It's everywhere.

This is very true; the small gear teeth details are problematic when small. A new view on that would be nice.
Where I think a fresh set of skilled eyes would *really* help is the in-image look. Font choices and menu icons etc. Color sets.

I would love to have a logo, maybe with The Balloon incorporated, that is a bit more "area"-y and a bit less "stroke"-y

I might have the ai laying around somewhere
