It represents the initials of Ian's family: Kelvin, Rosemary, Alexander, Kylie, Leonardo and...um... Ian. Obvious really, once you think about.

Cause when you started making pc music you were using *ahem* strange versions of your synths and you started making stuff cause you wanted to give something back...

KER-CHING

(Although not the right names).. It is the initial letters of the first names of Me, My wife and the four squids.. It looks Childlike (good guess dx-9) because prior to being used for my VST production it was the 'company' name I used for some education software packages I wrote for special needs school.. Looks like I've got to make good on my offer of a T-Shirt now.. I didn't think anybody would actually get this, and I was amazed how much response there was.. Obviously you peeps like a quiz!!

Well, obviously.. I changed some of the names to protect their identities

Wow. In the first edit of my first post, I said that what I was MOST curious about was why your logo looked like it was written in Comic Sans. (then I edited it because I thought that might offend you if you didn't already "know" that it looked childlike. You NOT knowing, though, would have been odd, indeed, since you do design some interesting GUIs).

I can't believe I got an answer to the Comic Sans question too!

Thanks, Ian.

Thanks, Ian.

Yes, Comic sans was insisted upon as the font to use, at the time, in the schools

Krakow, Olsztyn, Krakli, Ustka, Wieliczka, Gdynia...

Does it really look that out of place? Cultural diffs. I guess.
