    Default Scar Icon/logo

    As I couldn't find anything on the scar icon/logo (the orange bulldozer lol), I decided to make this topic. And thus I have a few questions.
    -Is there a significance to the scar icon?
    -If so what is it?

    If there isn't an official meaning/significance to it, discuss probable reasons of which it is a bulldozer.

    Q. Why is the SCAR icon a bulldozer?
    A. Quote from Kaitnieks – ‘Why do with a shovel what you can do with a bulldozer’

    Also:

    1. Why use a bulldozer for your programs as in for the symbol/logo?
    Bulldozer is a great symbol actually. As in - we can do the same thing with a shovel, but it takes way more time than with a bulldozer.

    So the orange bulldozer is to represent a tool used for "building" a script?


    ...I think it should be someone's mother's minivan.

    no, it is using the bulldozer as a metaphor to represent auto'ing, using your hands to do the job, or using a 'machine', i.e. the bulldozer to do it for you.

    I get what you're saying, but still, usually a piece of construction equipment is operated by a human, not self running. A shovel and a bulldozer are both operated by a human, one does more faster.

    Meh even if the metaphor isn't perfect, I wouldn't want to see it changed.
