Typography is based on the open source Outfit typography and angles, stroke width and design of some characters have been modified so that it can be visually related to the isotype.

The shape of a triangle as a basic element of the puzzle represents the three key elements of G-REQS, the users, the G-REQS team and the data providers. The color palette is made of soil tones and greens that in the collective imagination are associated with natural environments.

G-REQS is growing up needed a more serious logo. The dinosaur was transformed from a sum of bits into several pieces or folds. showing the collaborative intentionality of the project, where several users contribute their requirements and G-REQS forms a network of users and data providers.

WOW!!!! THIS NEW JWST IMAGE IS GORGEOUS!! IT SHOWS OUTFLOW FROM A NEWLY FORMING STAR AND THERE’S A GALAXY HERE TOO!!! 🌌

Angled from the upper left corner to the lower right corner is a cone-shaped orange-red cloud known as Herbig-Haro 49/50. This feature takes up about three-fourths of the length of this angle. The upper left end of this feature has a translucent, rounded end. The conical feature widens slightly from the rounded end at the upper right down to the lower right. Along the cone there are additional rounded edges, like edges of a wave, and intricate foamy-like details, as well as a clearer view of the black background of space. In the upper left, overlapping with the rounded end of Herbig-Haro 49/50, is a background spiral galaxy with a concentrated blue center that fades outward to blend with red spiral arms. The background of space is speckled with some white stars and smaller, more numerous, fainter white galaxies throughout.
