EDIT: Wow. An innocent question turns into a downvote madness here. Oh boy. So much hate... What is up with the bull logo? what's the significance of it? - c-graph, the guy must love trumpet - classpathx, doesn't even look like a logo - clisp, this looks like some icon from the 1990s website that I used to see a lot as a kid :) - dejagnu, oh i know this. this was the lovely MS Office Word's Word Art! They generated from that. I used to make powerpoint and documents with word art when I was a kid. - emms, this looks quite normal to me - gcc, I never knew gcc has a logo - gdb, fish as logo, what's the reason behind it? - guix, wow, that looks like Chrome logo - httptunnel, that looks like a tunnel to hell - gnowsys, This one is little cute - parallel, with a massive logo but I don't see anything resembles parallel. I am definitely not mathematician or geometry expert - pspp, looks awesome. dat pie chart though - a few don't actually have a logo, but a text logo and finally - wb, this is the most impressive one; looks like someone just crop something off a photo using photoshop. But then again, neither I nor most people are designer and expectations of how a logo supposed to look might be quite different back then.

  Thanks. New vocabulary. Didn't know what gnu is/was. So are they actually in the same family as bull/cow?

    To find out, you could, for instance, read the second sentence of the wikipedia link the other poster posted for you and for which you thanked him.

lines are parallel in parallel logo. it is a trick
- yeukhon 13y ago
  I don't get it. Mind to explain further?
  - shultays 13y ago
    All grey horizontal lines are parallel while they don't look like it. Shifting black/white rectangles makes the lines look angled Well, actually when image is huge, it is not obvious but if you scale page zoom down, you can notice the trick.

    It's an optical illusion. Lines are actually parallel, but seem not so.
