I have no idea where the logo came from, but just looking at the datomic logo that doesn't sound right at all, looks more like the diagrams you see explaining how mass bends space, maybe a reference to relativity and the addition of time to data models

Or maybe it represents a

It was designed by Rich’s brother Tom, who also did the Clojure logo, so I would ask him :) @U050044PU

Hiredman is on the right track… it kind of intermingles the mass bending space concept along with a splash of a liquid surface impact – in the end neither really being wholly one or the other of those.

it looks like someone with their arms raised up, maybe with green sleeves or something. or maybe it's someone naruto-running with long green sleeves

or a bat but maybe water themed. an aquabat

or a blanket being held at the corners by two people and they're using the blanket to launch and catch a black ball

I always thought of it as a stone falling in water. I felt it reflects both the solid and flexible aspects. Ah I just saw @U050044PU yea totally looks like mass bending space time also.

If you remove the green part you get person's upper torso. Not sure why they would omit the bottom part :thinking_face: Maybe it's not important :thinking_face: Maybe the bottom part is folded and it became the green part 😄 Or maybe the green parts are sleeves too.. or flaps

yeah i always figured it depicted the gravitational effects of mass on space-time

but it could just be a tungsten sphere on a trampoline

and i know, all too well, how much they love trampolines

sounds like the BS i had to write in 4th grade doing book reports when I didn't read the book

I did one on the Great Gatsby, when I wasn't entirely of sound mind, and I thought I'd nailed it, but no, D-

(not in the 4th grade)

Given how it works, that regurgitation both "makes sense" and why it gets it completely wrong.
