I surprised a lot of people in the TIBCO marketing department with this particular logo, specifically because of how it so prominently leveraged (bastardized?) the the blue element of the TIBCO corporate logo. I had been TIBCO’s “brand cop” since before anybody else on the team even started working for TIBCO, and I’d rejected many different attempts to use or modify the blue square element of our logo. But this image popped into my head as soon as we started discussing the need for a logo for the program, everybody liked it, and I decided that this was an instance where bastardizing the logo for the sake of mother earth would be just fine.
