The story behind the logo
My logo is Saturn's south pole.
I built it from 750,000 photos I took over three nights. Turn the image on its side and the rings, the planet and the shadow make the C in Corvionix.

Over three nights I took more than 750,000 images of Saturn. I shot in infrared, with a little color data.
Then the real work started. I kept the best 35% of the frames and stacked them, sharpened the result, and de-rotated it to undo the planet's spin. From there I mapped all of that data to build a true view of Saturn's south pole, seen from the bottom, and added the color in at the end.
I did all of it to see the newly discovered decagon, a ten-sided feature at Saturn's south pole.
When I turned the finished image on its side, the rings, the planet and the shadow made a C. That became my logo.
I put the same care and patience into every website I build. The small details are the ones I care about most.
