The logo
The Veena mark is three touching ovals, in blue, violet, and coral. It sits in the navbar. On the home page, it moves.
Three domains​
The three ovals stand for three domains close to the author's heart:
- Mathematics
- Machine Learning
- Software Systems
The name​
The veena is a classical Indian string instrument known for its resonant, expressive voice. The project takes its name from that blend of structure, motion, and music.
The motion​
The squish of the logo is the essence of Veena, given a shape. Each oval swells up from a shared baseline and eases back to rest, the way a note rises and releases. The three take their own parts of one phrase, then settle into the mark again. The animation is a visual form of the music the name comes from.
The home page loops that phrase. When the browser asks for less motion, the still mark is shown instead.
