How do I submit a journal article to the DM journal
Contributions to DM should concern topics likely to be of interest to medievalists working with digital media, though they need not be exclusively medieval in focus. They should be of a length appropriate to the subject under discussion; in most instances this means between 1,000 and 10,000 words. To submit an article please send it to editors _at_ digitalmedievalist.org

What font was used to make the  logo?
It's not a font. It's a photoshopped composite of an (original) ð and m from an anglo-saxon manuscript that was later turned into a vector image. (Actually gimped, rather than photoshopped).

The d is the body of the ð, the / before the > is from the cross-stroke, and the m is just the m. The are the back stroke of the ð if I remember aright, turned and inverted in the case of <

The MS is Cambridge Corpus Christi College MS 41 (A copy of the Old English Bede) and the letters were from p. 322 (I used it because the B1 scribe has a great clear hand and Cædmon's Hymn is on the page, so I had it in my collection).

I can't remember exactly, any more, but I think it is just the first ð and the first m on the page.
