Athena’s owl
Why an owl ?
The logo’s owl is meant to be the little owl often shown together with godess Athena of ancient Greece.
« It is commonly used as a symbol of knowledge, wisdom and perspicacity. »

Its design here is largely inspired by the face of antique coins in use in the city of Athens ( c. 400-500 BC).
The branch of olive tree is also a symbol of peace.
Additionaly and more personaly, the use of a night bird is a winking hint at my habit of working late at night (useful when dealing with wide spread time zones).
