The language itself needs no logo, but an abstract symbol can help
increase people's awareness of the project. I tend to take more time
remembering what a page with no favicon in my bookmark was about than
those with one. I tend to more skip or fail to notice an item when I
look for an add-on on the Firefox website. An iPhone app with a logo
is more appealing than those without.

I generally dislike the excessive and pretentious advertisements in
our modern life, but I think a neat logo is good than not for the
community development.
