I feel like the Meltdown logo was done by a real designer, and Spectre was designed by a bored developer.

From the site:

> Both the Meltdown and Spectre logo are free to use, rights waived via CC0. Logos are designed by Natascha Eibl.

It says at the bottom they were both done by the same person.
That's funny, but also makes me wonder how you get contracted to do logos for things like this. Based strictly on her LinkedIn, she doesn't work for Google. Maybe a friend of someone? Kind of a cool gig though.

This is my boyfriend's and his research team's latest work. An huge security breach which affects nearly all your computers! Stealing all your secrets never was that easy!

I thought the presence of a branch in the logo was clever.
I just noticed that. That is pretty clever.
