    Submitted design #101

    “stack” stacked, “overflow” overflowed (and red, signifying “error”).

    Similar to designs #98 and #100, but maybe more readable…

    interesting, but I think readability suffers, and if people can't tell what the name is.. that's sort of a failure mode itself, isn't it? :)

    Submitted design #229

    PUSH, PUSH, PUSH, PUSH, OVERFLOW!

    I created the font using FontStruct purposely for this logo, as I wanted a font that would be flat at the top (so that the figures could stand on it), fixed-width, scalable to a small size (e.g. for favicon) and free from licences.

    The OVERFLOW letters are placed in line with the STACK letters, similar to how the memory space beyond that reserved for the stack is physically next to the stack, but the moment we try to push data onto it, it collapses.
