Found an interesting story about the origin of the SGI logo while reading IRIS Universe, Spring 1987 issue..

Puzzle artist Scott Kim designed the Silicon Graphics logo entirely using JAM, a pre-PostScript language from Xerox. He started with a cube, looped a continuous tube around its vertices, rounded the corners, then rotated it so the 2D projection reads as both a hexagonal flower and a 3D object.

@flexion have you seen this?
