Logo Graveyard

If you haven't guessed already, it's the beloved Punnett Square! Nothing screams genetics like everyone's first entry-level genetic diagram!

The Logo Graveyard​

While this is completely unrelated to anything important about population genetics or Julia, I (Pavel) want you all to understand the logo-development process that led us to our logo so you can feel my struggle. The process is as follows:

  1. Jason and I spitball ideas

  2. I procrastinate real work and open up Inkscape to draft some ideas

  3. I compose 1-3 versions of an idea and send it to Jason

  4. if Jason != veto
        for i in 1:5
        Jason critiques and suggests changes
            I makes the changes
        end
    end

  5. Jason and I finalize the idea!

  6. Weeks pass and I'm not quite satisfied and we start at 1 again

I'm happy to say that we love the Punnett Square and it's for keeps, but have a look at the scrapped ideas as a little walk down memory lane:
