Flying Cincoms

Betwixt meetings last week, I managed to drum this little graphic up. The cool thing about this... It was rendered to a VisualWorks Pixmap running on the OS X Aqua VM using the Quartz backend within Cairo. And then saved as a .png file.

It was fun, because I built up the path for the Cincom Logo (that's the company I work for) once. And then just repeatedly applied random translation/rotation/scaling and random color with random alpha and stroke/filled the path.

Random Cincom Logos via Cairo

My ultimate goal is to build this as a screen saver. Because Cairo should be able to draw to the desktop, not just Windows and Pixmaps.

The Cincom logo looks a little like pacman, maybe you can create an animated Cincom pacman.
