I was feeling a little creative this morning, and thought the D Programming Language effort could use a slogan:

alias {D Logo} this;

I hope the pun makes sense to someone other than me.

I did my best to create a D Logo SVG file and a few *.png files for the slogan.

It might be cool to use this for T-Shirts, pens, baseball caps, mugs, lingerie, etc... at DConf 2014.

Since I don't own the D Logo, I wasn't sure how to license it, so I didn't add any license.  If I've violated and copyright/license, please let me know.

Enjoy!
Mike

Outdated syntax. You should use
alias this = {D Logo};
instead.

Isn't this syntax discouraged/depracted now?

alias this = foo;

This is new syntax, has some edge cases which fail and intended to replace the old typedef style

alias Type NewName;

Such that it look more like variable assignment:

alias NewName = Type;

I think this whole thread should be our slogan.

Mike:
alias {D Logo} this;
Martin:
Outdated syntax. You should use
alias this = {D Logo};
instead.
Asman:
Isn't this syntax discouraged/depreciated now?

:D

The word's "deprecated" (de-prec-ate, not de-pre-she-ate).

(Asman actually wrote "depracted".)

Wait for a few seconds (time for some Garbage Collection), add an 11 kilobytes long mangled function name and a compiler crash, and you get a quite good representation of D :)

This syntax was intended to only be used for normal aliases, not "alias this", and was supposed to be removed for latter.

Damn!  Not sure the pun still works.  Maybe it never did.

Do you have a citation for that? My understanding was that the correct way was

'alias' identifier '=' type;

and that the old one was going to be removed because it was easier to confuse the type and its new name.
