What does the logo stand for?

I always saw it as an A and a T combined.

amirite?

its the shape of an anal dildo that Richard designed himself that gives utmost bumpleasure

here are some pictures i found on the internet that i'm sure will explain it

it means Aphex Twin. The Logo stands for Aphex Twin. All the other answers are redundant.

The guy who designed it was interviewed about it; he just said that he had designed it and aphex liked it

This was posted here before I'm almost certain, this be an orignal concept from which Richard saw from Paul, where he liked the 'direction' he was heading.

sorry can't find a proper pic

I always saw an 'A', a subtle 'F' with the little nub on the middle stem, and an morphed incomplete 'X'. It's a brilliant logo. Who designed it?

Edit: whoops, didn't read the whole thread and it's already been answered.

Dan Parkes also did the artwork for On and On Remixes, as well as the two Ventolin EPs.

A little piece of trivia about the logo: at the time I met Richard, I had being doing artwork for a San Francisco-based skatewear label called Anarachic Adjustment. Their 'thing' at the time had been the whole "alien" vibe (remember, we are talking 1991). So, I had been creating loads of designs based around the letter 'A' which got knocked back. Richard, having seen the work in progress, liked where I was going with the amorphic shape and from these I developed what is now the Aphex 'A.' The logo was finished early 1992, in time to appear on the "Xylem Tube" sleeve."

it's not an A and a T, it's just an A.

well you can tell aphex twin that its a fucking cool logo. i dont know if anyone has said that yet so i'll be the first. "fucking cool"™
