The logo is available for the generic Isabelle system (<a

    17  | 
href="#plain">plain</a>, <a href="#transparent">transparent</a>) and
  |

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

    19  | 
href="#HOLCF">HOLCF</a>).

<img src="isabelle.gif" align=right alt="Isabelle logo"> First of all
  | 
| 
 | 
    25  | 
the logo tells about the name of the generic system, Isabelle, or of
  | 
| 
 | 
    26  | 
its concrete instantiations, e.g. Isabelle/HOL.  It also expresses
  | 
| 
 | 
    27  | 
some essentials of the overall Isabelle design philosophy: Composition
  | 
| 
 | 
    28  | 
of several small well understood building blocks, grouped together or
  | 
| 
 | 
    29  | 
arranged in layers. <p>
  | 
| 
 | 
    30  | 
  | 
| 
 | 
    31  | 
The markings on the cubes illustrate this general principle by example
  | 
| 
 | 
    32  | 
of the core meta-logic (which is naively polymorphic simply typed
  | 
| 
 | 
    33  | 
lambda calculus with minimal higher-order logic). Thus red cubes
  | 
| 
 | 
    34  | 
symbolize the type system with function spaces (->) and type variables
  | 
| 
 | 
    35  | 
(alpha); violet ones represent the lambda term language with beta
  | 
| 
 | 
    36  | 
conversion etc.; yellow cubes constitute the actual logical parts,
  | 
| 
 | 
    37  | 
namely meta-implication or entailment (|-) and meta-level universal
  | 
| 
 | 
    38  | 
quantification.
