Matt Mullenweg created that image while we were building the initial
version of the stats system in a cafe in Austin. He hasn't spoken
publicly about his artistic intentions. The simplicity and ample
negative space invites the viewer to participate by involving their
imaginations in the subjective creation of themes and purposes.
