I hope it > doesn't mean that!Actually, the logo is a logarithmic spiral, which has the interesting property that it employs what the Greeks called the Golden Ratio (an irrational number approximated by 0.618) which is found all over nature and man-made objects, from the ratios of body size generally considered attractive to the slope of the Great Pyramid at Gizeh (or is it Giza, I can never remember which is right). Thus the logo represents Debian's rightful place at the centre of the universe. Uh huh.Some of the other logos considered can be seen at: http://www.debian.org/vote/1999/vote_0004
Good Lord...I can see how the spiral was chosen. Was the contest fixed? The only other one that wasn't godawful butt-ugly was the DG logo, and that looks like something for Amalgamated Consolidated, Inc. Chris Mattern
