matlab2tikz logo

This is courtesy of my friend Ariel:

And its evolution and variations:

My little contribution to a great package which helped me lot of times. I am grateful to @Nico.

Scroll down for various versions.

And the logo2 -- membrane plotted in matlab:

and the matlab code:

L = membrane; 
s = surf(L) , view(-52,30), axis off; colormap('cool');
camlight; shading interp;
set(s, 'facelighting', 'phong', 'facealpha', 0.9);

Play around by putting

\node[draw=Goldenrod!50!red,double,fill=olive!20,drop shadow,anchor=south] (tikz) at (0.8,0.045) {\LARGE .tikz};
\node[draw=Blue!50!red,double,fill=blue!10,anchor=south] (matlab) at (0.2,0.25) {\fontsize{3}{4}\selectfont .fig};

to indicate the conversion.

A more playful proposal

It's a pity TikZ does not have a mascot!
