Logo description

The logo design shows the star constellation Virgo which can be seen in earth's northern hemisphere (mostly at night, or on days with eclipses of the sun; additional constraints apply :-)). Some of the stars are replaced by the letters V, i, r, g, and o. The stars and the blue and yellow colors give the logo a rough resemblance to the European flag, indicating that VIRGO is a European network. The lens flare (created with a Photoshop filter by that name) adds some more hip to the design.

A version with a higher resolution and more vivid colors for printing can be retrieved here.
The logo was designed by Erich Rome of GMD.
