JASSPA

The logo was derived from the program initials Me. Given the limited number of pixels available in an icon then the 'e' was superimposed in the center of the 'M'. With some further refinement the legs of the 'M' were later lost leaving a triangular shape - this was then adopted as the iconic outline. The colored lines at the top and bottom portray the visual appearance of a JASSPA's MicroEmacs from afar when viewing an X-term running me within an X-Windows environment. The blue line representing the window header color (that I use), the red line representing the MicroEmacs mode bar; the screen was typically black with white or yellow characters. The icon was incrementally refined over a period of approximately 6 months.
