When I came up with the 'cocoon' logo, the dots were missing. I felt
there was some "style" missing, something that identified it, and the
dots seemed (at least to me) to add something both peculiar, funny and
nonsense to the picture.
It was intentional: cognitive dissonance triggers deeper reasoning but
normally turn into deeper regions of your mind.
Think of music: there are eary tunes that create no dissonance but don't
last and songs that might even look strident at first, but after hearing
them a few times, things start to "emerge".

Exactly to make you wonder why.
But I'm sure that after a few times that you see it, you might get used
to the 'dissonance' and start considering it 'particular', or, by any
chance, even attractive.

Sounds like an idea. Are you volunteering to make it? :)
