I believe the logo used by lunet was created by M.C. Escher a Dutch graphic
artist, most recognized for spatial illusions,impossible buildings,
repeating geometric patterns (tessellations), and his incredible techniques
in woodcutting and lithography.
M.C. Escher was born June 1898 and died March 1972 (coincidently the month I
was born). His work continues to fascinate both young and old across a broad
spectrum of interests.
M.C. Escher was a man studied and greatly appreciated by respected
mathematicians, scientists and crystallographers yet he had no formal
training in math or science. He was a humble man who considered himself
neither an artist or mathematician.
Intricate repeating patterns, mathematically complex structures, spatial
perspectives all require a "second look". In Escher's work what you see the
first time is most certainly not all there is to see.
here is a link where you can see a little more of his work
