One ludicrous nitpick: the logo doesn't show anything hexyl, that's 1,2,3,5-tetramethylbenzene. If it was a functional group, it might be 3,4,5-trimethylbenzyl or something like that.

Hexyl would look like:

  R
   \/\/\/


The logo shows a small part of this molecule: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexanitrodiphenylamine

.. which is apparently also called "Hexyl". Granted, I was just looking for a short word that starts with "Hex" and I was never good at organic chemistry :-)


Many of your projects have cool logos, how do you make them?


Thank you. Not all of them are by me, but I typically just use Inkscape.
