This is post number 300 of Cleve's Corner blog. The first post was on June 6, 2012, which is 600 weeks ago. So, I have averaged one post every two weeks for over a decade. The posts were more frequent in the early days and are less frequent today.

Vibrating Logo
For my 300-th post, I want to take another look at our MathWorks logo. Here is a modified version of one of the animations that I entered in the recent MATLAB Flipbook Mini Hack (https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/communitycontests/contests/6/entries).

Vibrating LogoThe MathWorks company logo is the solution to a partial differential equation that describes how a disturbance travels through matter. I discussed the logo in a five-part blog post in 2014. Here are links to three of those posts.
Why is it L-shaped? (https://blogs.mathworks.com/cleve/2014/10/13/mathworks-logo-part-one-why-is-it-l-shaped/).
The method of particular solutions (https://blogs.mathworks.com/cleve/2014/11/17/mathworks-logo-part-four-method-of-particular-solutions-generates-the-logo/).
How the view has evolved. (https://blogs.mathworks.com/cleve/2014/12/01/mathworks-logo-part-five-evolution-of-the-logo/).
One of my most-liked blog posts is by ten-year old Eden Rajapakse (https://blogs.mathworks.com/cleve/2021/12/23/a-new-view-of-our-logo/).
