Re: [projectvrm] Indie IoT presentation

+1 to how effectively "overlord" comes across to anyone -- especially if symbolized by a datakraken (love that term).

"Indie" works with us techies, but I don't know how it will resonate with the mainstream market. Seems something more like "rebel" or "freedom fighter".

Maybe we can just get Jennifer Lawrence in her Catching Fire getup to be our symbol ;-)

Thanks.

Maybe we need symbols for indies and overlords.

The Datenkrake comes to mind, as the overlord. It seems a common riff in Germany, e.g. http://m3.paperblog.com/i/28/288347/halte-die-datenkrake-auf-L-1D0Db5.jpeg

This is from a major publication:

A nice human being will do as an indie.

Anybody have any design talents on this list? :-)

Cheers,

Johannes.
