Just to confuse things design a logo that references both Margaret Hamilton from NASA and Margaret Hamilton the Wicked Witch actress. Maybe a woman flying on a NASA rocket-propelled bicycle, but maybe not because the slow and judgey might think that's calling NASA Hamilton a witch.

"The overriding gist of the DOJ’s lawsuit against Apple brought to mind, for DF reader E.G., Kurt Vonnegut’s dystopian short story Harrison Bergeron. Despite being an enormous Vonnegut fan, I couldn’t recall reading it before. It’s so apt. As E.G. quipped in his email to me, “Only in making all products, services, and experiences equally bad, will we have equality and fairness.”"
