I've mused about trying to create a logo using the markup
commands.  If you think about all the graphical ones, plus music
glyphs, there's a lot of options.  The "d" could be a rotated bass
clef, the ls could be compressed treble clefs, the p could be a
half note, etc.  Or simply just using some artistic black and
white shapes and the like.

I'm not terribly graphically artistic, so I always gave up after 5
minutes... but I think it could be cool to have a lilypond-created
logo (which we could call with \lilypond inside a markup).
