In short, the qualities our gorilla represents are as follows:
- Strength -- SvgNet is a library intended as a strong base for other libraries
- Flexibility -- The gorilla is able to learn and to use tools, and is also somewhat physically flexible
- Artistry -- Our logo is a work of art, similar to those than can be represented in SVG. The fact that the logo is not in SVG is of course regrettable but it was felt that vectorization would destroy some of the gorilla's natural dignity.
- Discrete color scheme -- the blue-gray of the average gorilla's fur makes it blend well with quiet web color schemes, just as SvgNet should be unobtrusive and easy to work with.
