It's my logo, derived from how I would sign my signature banners in other forums. -aaaantoine. Use only the first letter and the dash, change the font of the letter a, and combine them over one space.

I haven't used it on anything yet except for my avatar in a couple of places.

http://img3.nnm.ru/imagez/gallery/2/0/2/b/b/202bbfae665090eb3a8da0f7532801e9_full.jpg

The first impression I got off of the image was "organic electronics" or something to that effect. Reading deeper into this impression made me think about the birth of technology at the hands of our own species, which itself is a creature of nature.

Short of stealing their artwork, I created my own to centralize the theme on my website (http://www.davestechsupport.com).

I'm liking Ubuntu a lot during my first few weeks here and thought I'd have a go at Gimping myself an amusing Avatar.
Everyone's getting beans, and probably quaffing java by the mugful, so, as I thought for a second that the Uby logo looked like a donut, my brain cell went into foody overdrive. So there you have it, three friendly donuts floating in harmony above an almost galactic donut, but, nooo,,,,,, Pacman was passing by the 98 Windows in my house, saw my tasty Av, and nipped in for a snack, the greedy blighter!! :(

Mine is a logo I created for my fictional company based on my initials. Someday you might see it before the opening credits of a major motion picture. Maybe.



You'll be interested to know that MZ was, and I think, still is, a motorcycle maker of high quality small engined bikes in eastern Europe. Definately up to 1979, and I believe merged with another company or something like that, from 1980 onwards.

Mine is a crop of a screenshot of a cutscene from the old game Gobliins 2: The Prince Buffoon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gobliiins).

Why? Because it's probably one of the first games I ever played on my then brand-spanking new VGA-card. Also, I love pixel-art and find the Gobliiins-series is quite beautiful. And crazy. And funny. Plus, I'm 30 years old, so I need to get into the whole "damn kids get off my lawn, when I was young we had to walk to school in the freezing snow and we didn't have any damn texture-pipelines" kind of mood.

Nope, couldn't resist. I just had to read it all the way til the end. Still, I think Drawing of the Three or The Wastelands were the best in the series.
