After playing with the Mercedes Logo I figured I'd follow up with another Processing application to try and duplicate what Christopher Carlson did in Mathematica to allow dynamic interaction with a logo created by Franco Grignani special edition of the magazine Advertising in Italy.

I parametrized a few more options, set some up by guess and by golly, and added the "hidden" feature of dragging your mouse to move the center of the innermost disc...the "focal point" of the logo.

Over at the I'm Just Creative Blog Graham posted about exploring logo designs with Mathematica. Since I can't afford the £2000 pricetag, I dismissed this as outside the realm of mere mortals and amateurs.

Then I remembered I have had some experience with Processing:

...an open source programming language and environment for people who want to create images, animations, and interactions.

Stumbling through the quagmire of the internet I came across a little project by Lukas Vojir to collect a series of user contributed "monsters" made using Processing.

It has been a while since I played with Processing, so dusting it off, and grabbing a few of the examples (most notably Blink Eye Monster) I created Ouroboros - the processing monster that eats its own tail.
