I never associated anything with it. I had to look at the actual web page to see what people are talking about. It's far too arbitrary and could be anything. If somebody actually took the pain and oriented the branching symbol on a suitable background shape in a manner where it formed a stylized letter "G" or even something obscure like a Game of Life Flier or anything, one would be closer to have something to talk about. But as it is, it is just an arbitrary dump of lines and circles with no rhyme or reason without an offset border and consequently with an edge in a saturated color bleeding unfavorably into basically every background. If that is supposed to allude to being on the bleeding edge: too smart for its own good. I mean, people discuss whether it would not be better upside down. That's nothing you would even consider if that thing had enough sensibly or recognizably arranged elements to function as an actual logo. I mean, _Emacs_ has a nice logo. And even back in the eighties, the crude "kitchen sink" logo it employed then was at least a good joke. I think that more effort should go into that or any other logo in order to create something identifiable and cohesive. With regard to logos, my all-time favorite still is "Sun". Too bad it's history. -- David Kastrup -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
