Hi,

 

Recently I asked community to make a new better JSONB logo. Rodribo Turini and Carla De Bona (@carladebona) agreed to contribute. Finally, the logo is done (see the attached image). I hope you will like it.

The logo is not an evil Duke as you may think. It has some ideas behind. JSONB is a Java project so Duke has to be on the logo because Java=Duke and Duke=Java. JSON Binding is often pronounced as Jason Binding. For some reason I associate Jason with a character from Friday 13th with the same name. The one wearing a hockey mask and holding a machete in his hand. This is why Duke is wearing a hockey mask. Instead of machete it holds a binding rope with a node. It represents a ‘binding’ part.

This is how we combined Java, JSON and binding in one awesome logo. J

I would like to say thanks to Rodrigo and Carla for their contribution. Great job!

 

Cheers,

Dmitry
