The rotated A in the Aerospike logo reminds me of a system that's fallen over, and now you can't unsee it:

http://www.aerospike.com/



Trying to read aerospike's front page to figure out what it is reminds me of this: http://shouldiuseacarousel.com/


"A system"? Not sure what you mean by that.

To me, it was immediately apparent that they are making the whole word Aerospike look like a rocket, a motif they repeat through their home-page.


Worker 1: "The server has fallen over."

Worker 2: "I'll go restart it."

See also: The frequent interchangeability of the words "system" and "computer".


My co-worker glanced at my screen and thought I was reading about erospike, which has a decidedly different feel, especially given the phallic imagery on the page.


Really? When I look at it I only see an eye (viewed in profile) with the legs of the A being eye lashes.
