Can you make it pretty?

Question

Just for fun. Can you make this equation as pretty as possible?

\documentclass{article}
%
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{palatino}
\usepackage{mathpazo}
\usepackage{bm}
%

\begin{document}

    $\delta\int_{t_1}^{t_2}\mathcal{L}(\bm{q},\bm{\dot{q}})dt=0$

\end{document}

It should be pretty when printed on a whole page. So be careful to the spacings between the symbols.

It is already pretty. What exactly are you seeking? If the question is how to scale it to a whole page, a \scalebox can be employed. — Steven B. Segletes, Aug 02 '17 at 02:54
Define 'pretty'. Please provide compilable code and explain what you actually want. Code fragments are not very helpful. — cfr, Aug 02 '17 at 02:55
Some might say adding ducks to your equation would be pretty and fun. :) — Troy, Aug 02 '17 at 02:57
@Troy that's kinda the point. let's see what people think a beautifully-written equation is — shamalaia, Aug 02 '17 at 03:00
@shamalaia You should address the other comments, not mine. "Let's see what people think" is primarily opinion-based and is not really suitable in a QnA setting of TeX.SE. — Troy, Aug 02 '17 at 03:05
This is just asking for opinions, then, and so not a suitable question for this site. Your question needs to make clear what would constitute a good answer. — cfr, Aug 02 '17 at 03:05
Have a look at Related Q Write more beautiful math equations, like a professional book, Suggest a “nice” font family for my basic LaTeX template (text and math) and What are all the font styles I can use in math mode?, Pick the one which looks pretty for your eyes... :) — texenthusiast, Aug 02 '17 at 03:45
Define \newcommand{\diff}{\mathop{}\!d} and use \diff t instead of dt; it should be \dot{\bm{q}}; define \newcommand{\vari}{\mathop{}\!\delta\check@for@int} and \newcommand{\check@for@int}{\@ifnextchar{\int}{\mkern-6mu}{}} (requires \makeatletter and \makeatother). Then try \vari\int.... — egreg, Aug 02 '17 at 08:36
already many things to learn from a primarily opinion-based question. thanks! — shamalaia, Aug 02 '17 at 08:48

Throw away that unspeakably ugly (IMHO) font, and sort out the horizontal and vertical spacing...

The end result is entirely subjective, of course.

\documentclass{article}
%
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{erewhon}
\usepackage[utopia,cmintegrals]{newtxmath}
\usepackage{bm}
%

\begin{document}

    $\displaystyle\delta\mkern -8mu \int_{t_1}^{\mkern 1mu t_2} \mkern -15mu \mathcal{L}(\bm{q},\bm{\dot{q}})\mkern 2mu dt=0$

\end{document}
