Michael Schmitz's logo evolves over time based on a number of factors related to the company, from the post:
>Looking for a suitable design solution, Mika soon learned about cellular automata, especially Conway's famous Game of Life, subject of many art pieces. His software basically follows the same rules in creating a dynamic logo for MPI-CBG in time, but the parameters are coupled to certain factors: number of employees = density, funding = speed, number of publications = activity. Different logos are being "bred" and then picked by fitness in relation to the parameters or voted for by the employees. Thus, every time the logo is displayed on a website as an animated icon or printed out on a letter, it reflects the current state of the lab as a living organism.
Could semi-intelligent, evolving designs be the wave of the future? The logo reminds me a little of designer Shaun Inman's [recently launched experiment Heap][3] where the archives of his blog fade in color as you go further back in time.
