Anyone know the origins/meaning of the Mastodon logo? (Not the mammoth, but the round one with three cartouches.)
I ask because the cartouches with dots in them remind me of a tree's seed pods. Which remind me of this amazing article I read a few years back "The Trees That Miss The Mammoths" http://www.americanforests.org/magazine/article/trees-that-miss-the-mammoths/
It's quite a read.
@gei i think it's meant to represent the three parallel timelines of the Mastodon UI
@lain Ah. Yeah, that makes sense. And with the little tails making them allude to speech balloons. Thanks!
@gei From what I've seen, if you turn it sideways it looks like chat bubbles in an IM conversation. An orthogonal approach to communication, if you will.
@gei oh wow i am super looking forward to reading this
