Is that the

hiP

programming language ( )

How about incorporating the Greek symbol for Phi somehow

ɸx

for instance

I'm assuming that "Phix" was chosen as a name for the project as "fix" is jargon for drug-taking in pursuit of euphoria. Arguably, you've both pursued and overtaken.

So now what? Assuming you keep the name, you're now in need of an image to represent it. You could continue in the hat-tipping to Euphoria either by choosing a different mongoose and "editing" it or by selecting an animal related to the mongoose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongoose lists all the known mongooses.

Alternatively, with a hat-tip to Rudyard Kipling, you could derive a serviceable icon from the Krait, particularly the red-headed variety: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-headed_krait

After that, a combination ring and open-end spanner with a half-hitch in the middle - a tool to fix things with but with a twist.

Indeed, "subtler pastel hues that emphasize the "P" a bit more, the "hi" a bit less, and the "x" a bit more" are just not really my forte.
(I do kinda like the "hi", but it should be a smidge more like the arrow in the FedEx logo...)

tbh, not really targetting the right audience, I suspect, and in fact was in my 50s when first finding out that symbol was named phi !

It arose as a pseudo-acronym of "Pete's Hybrid Interpreter/Compiler", with a slight nod to PhiX, the first ever man-made artificial lifeform, and implying "easy to fix" over "illicit substances".

I'm not particularly precious about the name phix, but see little point changing it now, or what the logo looks like, but it has to have something.

I still like the Phi x idea. Who would the right audience be whom it wouldn't target? According to all the possible meanings of Phi that Wikipedia lists (I was only aware of a small number of them) — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi — it would be recognized by people from all kinds of backgrounds. I particularly like "In philosophy, Φ is often used as shorthand for a generic act" (whatever that means), and it's the symbol for the golden ratio, too.

But whatever the logo is or will be, I think the name Phix is really good.

Both are really nice. 1st one is less complicated.

Whatever you choose consider some of the use cases, e.g. the tiny hexagonal rendition that Exercism will create from it. The ASCII art is nice but I don't see it shrinking well.
