The logo is available as bitmap file for the generic Isabelle system
  | 
| 
 | 
    19  | 
(<a href="#plain">plain</a>, <a href="#transparent">transparent</a>)
  |

and major object logics (<a href="#ZF">ZF</a>, <a href="#HOL">HOL</a>,
  | 
|

    21  | 
<a href="#HOLCF">HOLCF</a>).  There are also <a

    24  | 
Furthermore, scalable (EPS) versions of the logo may be generated for
  | 
| 
 | 
    25  | 
any logic using the <tt>isatool logo</tt> utility distributed with
  | 
| 
 | 
    26  | 
Isabelle.

<h2>Interpretation</h2>

    31  | 
<img src="isabelle.gif" align=right alt="[Isabelle logo]"> First of
  | 
| 
3858
 | 
    32  | 
all, the logo tells about the name of the generic system, Isabelle, or
  | 
| 
3800
 | 
    33  | 
of its concrete instantiations, e.g. Isabelle/HOL.  It also expresses
  | 
| 
3799
 | 
    34  | 
some essentials of the overall Isabelle design philosophy: Composition
  | 
| 
 | 
    35  | 
of several small well understood building blocks, grouped together or
  | 
| 
 | 
    36  | 
arranged in layers. <p>
  | 
| 
 | 
    37  | 
  | 
| 
 | 
    38  | 
The markings on the cubes illustrate this general principle by example
  | 
| 
3800
 | 
    39  | 
of the core meta-logic (which is minimal higher-order logic on top of
  | 
| 
 | 
    40  | 
naively polymorphic simply typed lambda calculus). Thus red cubes
  | 
| 
7807
 | 
    41  | 
symbolize the type system with function spaces (->) and type
  | 
| 
 | 
    42  | 
variables (alpha); violet ones represent the lambda term language with
  | 
| 
 | 
    43  | 
beta conversion etc.; yellow cubes constitute the actual logical
  | 
| 
 | 
    44  | 
parts, namely meta-implication or entailment (|-) and meta-level
  | 
| 
 | 
    45  | 
universal quantification.
