Love the parentheses-lizard approach! Maybe even another pair of parentheses could make it clearer... what are the tiny symbols scattered around the lizard? Looks like "y o o c" or something.

it's just lizard's legs.

Feel free to improve the image :)

i played with idea of 'l i s p' letters as lizard's legs: Image
IMO, the image became less lizard-like.

this is lizard made from two parentheses.
That's a contender. :)

A quick Google turned this up:

It'd be possible to shrink that down, but I'm not sure how it would look.

Very 1987.
You could render it in SVG, and it should scale alright then.

Yea, I think I'd rather go for something very 2008 instead. :D Let's do all we can to portray that fact that Lisp is actually something a modern programmer would want to use, not just a retro-language to be learned for historical reasons only.

I like the Planet Lisp one. How about something similar, but with something to indicate "discussion", e.g.
( :idea: )
or
( :?: )
or
( :o ) (except not so surprised-looking).

Nice! That's a possibility, too. I sort of like the surprised one. Yes, Lisp is that blow-your-mind programming language. :)
