Thanks everyone for the positive feedback.

Haha didn't know about the babel fish from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the 
Galaxy, so that must be where the name of the old yahoo translation website 
came from.

I did forget to mention the ideia behind it all, this was actually inspired 
by an idea that ran quite some time ago back when you were searching for an 
official icon for TiddlyWiki. I always thought the word *tiddler *came from 
*tiddly* as small or compact and simple, but apparently as Stephen 
mentioned it is also a fish species whose scientific name, according to 
Wikipedia, is Three-Spined Stickleback.
Doing a Google search I found a few nice images which I use as reference 
reference, and the colors are actually more or less accurate according to 
the last image found in this website <http://imgkid.com/stickleback.shtml>, 
with some artistic liberties in the mix of course.

So it should be pretty straightforward now, the fish obviously came from 
the "tiddler" species, and those lines, that "go in" all tangled and "come 
out" straight and lined up represent how tiddlywiki is great for organizing 
and displaying your information in a neat and customizable fashion. The 
triangulated "low poly" style 
<https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&lr=lang_en|lang_pt&q=low%20poly%20vector>
 
seems to be pretty much "the thing" currently throughout the internet, did 
my best to capture that feeling.
