I think I was in a rush because of my crappy dial-up connection I'm having right now. Nice joke, though, too bad I couldn't get it the first time.

(Or read about Quark's logo elsewhere, as I had.) Read the linked article, people. It's funny. I think they must not have followed the link. (Or read about Quark's logo elsewhere, as I had.)

Take a look at the "A" on the brand name, that also happens to be the reduced version of the logo and the "brand shape". Looks like everyone's having the same ideas lately, it has happened a lot to me too, lately. I'm not kidding. Smartcom.

I am reminded of the 'chicken' knobs on vintage guitar amplifiers and kitchen stoves however. The real brain twister is, how do you work NSLog out of that bit of minimalism? Is it some buried icon from NextStep or something? I sort of see square corners from an L, maybe even a G in there, but I suspect some more obscure reference.
