Concept
We wanted a water-based animal to play with the words Hackuarium / Aquarium, the octopus was chosen because he can grabs many things, the octopus is also an animal with a distributed brain: each tentacle has an independent brain, still the octopus acts as a single organism. This represents well the spirit of our community.
History
We first started investigating the idea of a logo and proposed it on networks at the beginning of the space:
To look at the history it happend like this:
Shalf posted on our Facebook page: "To make it serious we'll need a logo"
Yann Pierson thought:
"What did the others do? If we want to be "hackers" we'll need to reach out, reach out far and a lot! What animal could be the best? An octopus:
and came up with this research that showed the orientation for the "water based animals" maybe a medusa ?
Then he designed the big black octopus picture you can find in this early hackpad but as the others correctly said: "It's way too complicated" =)
Robin posted on Faceboook again the collaborative work made over one Open Hackuarium
So Xavier did his magic and came with the final result! It was first presented to the world here again (you guessed the medium).
