For some reason the slightly different colour of the final slash bugs me.

Re: A new Curl logo
#42I just realized after all these years, I think I've been saying the name wrong. In my head, I say "curl" as in curly hair. It's really "see-url"!? I think it's too late for my brain to correct that.
I've made this mistake with LaTeX. I was so embarrassed when someone told me "Its pronounced lah-tekh".
Another one is Tuple (like in a data base)
Too pool -or- Tup ulll -or- Tup lee
So many choice from just five letters....

That was too traumatic to contemplate, so I referred to the FAQ and found relief in section 1.1: "We pronounce curl and cURL with an initial k sound: [kurl]." They do, however, note that the "fact it can also be pronounced 'see URL' also helped" [to choose the name].
You think that's traumatic?
See you are ell.
Re: A new Curl logo
#44For something that claims to "grok" URLs, using "://" as part of the logo seems to be misunderstanding how URLs (are supposed to) work. According to RFC3986, URIs (the proper name; URLs are a kind of URI) are correctly of the form: : For some schemes, the may contain a , the format for which is: // [/ ] | So it's only hierarchical URIs with a defined authority that have the (admittedly iconic) "://" in them. I know m…
While on the subject, what is the difference between file:/path/to/file and file:///path/to/file ? Usually I only see the latter being used.
In file:///, the file:// part signifies the protocol (think http://) and the / in /path/to/file signifies the root directory (think / in /home/user/)
I have never seen file:/ used before, so I can't really comment, but it seems invalid to me (and browsers auto-redirect it to ///).

#45Does cURL really need a logo?
Is it hurting anybody having one? It had one before, so at some point the answer was yes, and I guess it remains yes.

You shouldn't feel embarrassed about how you pronounce LaTeX. In the words of its creator Leslie Lamport:
> One of the hardest things about LaTeX is deciding how to pronounce it.This is also one of the few things I'm not going to tell you about LaTeX, since pronunciation is best determined by usage, not fiat. TeX is usually pronounced teck, making lah-teck, and lay-teck the logical choices; but language is not always logical, so lay-tecks is also possible.

Re: A new Curl logo
#49The new logo is nice, certainly cleaner and more better-looking than the old one. However, the association for me is very much to PCB design since the lines with hollow circles look like tracks with vias or just pads for through-hole components. See, for instance, the background on KiCad's (an actual PCB design program) site: http://kicad-pcb.org/ . This "inspiration" was visible in the first suggestion too, the one…
In the next revision, some years later, my guess is they'll keep the :// (which as I've typed it looks like a frown with a double chin) and de-emphasize the PCB aspects through graphic simplification.
Re: A new Curl logo
#50I didn't know it even had a logo. I only ever see it as a command in a terminal.
And the new logo is right there in every url that you curl. :)
