Comment (by duffy):
So I did an initial set of sketches for this design and ended up getting a
bit overly busy. Here is where we stand right now with this ticket:
IIRC (correct me if I'm wrong, James) James preferred either the water
droplet concept, or a bit of a mashup between the neptune and helmet
sketch that would show a man underneath the helmet to give the logo a
'face'. I didn't get around to sketching what that might look like.
For the back story behind the project, it's not specifically a piece of
software but more a community around sharing information about security:
- Aqueducts carry and spread water to help people, and Aqueduct the
project will carry and spread security best practices / scripts / etc to
help people, so that's where the water concept (which was James' original
logo and concept) comes from.
- Since aqueducts were invented by the Romans and Roman helmets are
protective (Aqueduct will help protect people from security breaches like
a helmet protects people's heads), that's where the helmet idea came
from.... adding the water to the scrub-brush looking thing that's
typically on the top was adding more of a water theme to it.
- The neptune guy is because again, aqueducts being an invention of
Romans, Neptune is the Roman god of water and oceans... the link to
security is basically that he looks bad ass and he is swinging a triton
around so he'll, uh, poke hackers in the eye? :)
