	Even if not everybody will recognise it (yet...), including many hackerspace-visitors, the hacker emblem is actually an established symbol.

Even if not everybody will recognise it (yet...), including many hackerspace-visitors, the hacker emblem is actually an established symbol. Just do an image search ([https://www.google.nl/search?site=&tbm=isch&q=hacker+symbol&oq=hacker+symbol Google Images], [https://duckduckgo.com/?q=hacker+symbol&ia=images DuckDuckGo Images]) for "hacker symbol" and you will find it.

	Other symbols that are typically used to represent hacking or hackers, often carry a very specific connotation, like wrenches, Guy Fawkes masks, space invaders, and hackerized jolly roger flags. The glider is a more universal symbol.

Rationale

Line 12:		Line 12:

	The hackerspace pictogram is based on the [http://www.catb.org/hacker-emblem/index.html hacker emblem], which in turn is a graphic representation of a glider pattern from the Game of Life. The square grid was removed for simplicity, and a house-like shape was added to convey that hackerspaces are buildings (or at least, in buildings). The house-like shape was inspired by the Dutch road pictogram for parking garages.
