"Julia Flanders thanked Geoffrey Rockwell and Sebastian Rahtz, who took 
the lead in the design process, and also thanked the logo's designers: 
Andrew Paulin of McMaster University, who undertook the initial design 
and produced a number of prototypes from which a few were selected for 
further development; and Rowan Wilson of Oxford University, who took 
Andrew's prototype and developed it into a finished logo. The membership 
instructed the Chair to thank both Andrew and Rowan for their work."

It was probably on a desktop somewhere in Oxford ... once.
