About the CGO Logo

 "CGO is focused on the interface between the power of dynamic optimization and established world of static optimization and code generation. As natural forces are concerned, the best example of the improbable, yet perfect, equilibrium between extreme dynamism and the serene static is the hurricane. A hurricane's outer arms are powerful symbols of the dynamic, whereas the eye the hurricane is characterized by its quiet, contemplative, static environs. In addition, optimization is the 'big -O' and there is no 'bigger O' in nature than a hurricane viewed from space!"

"The CGO logo is the international seafaring symbol for an approaching hurricane."
