Soory, I don't get that, turn it how far and which way (clockwise/anti clockwise). The guy who designed it said it was just a morph of the letters "A" and "F"

Nope, Joyrex met the guy who designed it and he said it was a fusion of A and F.

I always thought that...the face thing, that is...It's a pretty uncanny likeness of him when he was younger...very stylised but the face seemed pretty obvious to me...
but I actually spoke to the guy who designed it and he said there wasn't any real reasoning behind it all; not a face, not a DJatWork symbol, not an A or a T etc.....just a logo he produced by messing around with letters/shapes...
He's the same guy who did the Aphex Twin SAWII font...

Its actually a Celtic symbol. I saw it carved on a rock on a mountain in North Wales. It pre-dates the Acid House revolution of 1988 and is thought to be the symbol of a clan who lived by entertaining local serfs with crazy percussive music in the 17th century.

you are a fucking nationalist, man. Do you attend those annual meetings where welsh people invent new words for new technologies etc. so they don't have to import foreign words into welsh?

Reflex: That's what the guy said & was the creator of it....I heard so many different version of what it was over the yrs that I thought I'd get in contact and find out from the horse's mouth...
Like most good logos, there's an element of ambiguity about it...

It's like the Nike swoosh -- there's no special meaning behind it, it was just designed on a whim to look cool and resemble and "A".

I guess it can be whatever to whoever... it does seem to make most sense as an A and F though...
