Not sure if there is any deeper meaning hidden behind it, but it is the German word for Hedgehog (pronounce as: "Eagle")


Interesting, igel is Swedish for leech (Egel in German). The Swedish word for hedgehog is instead igelkott. In short, Egel = igel and Igel != igel... TIL


Indeed interesting :D


Interesting. That makes sense since the logo is a hedgehog. What’s the connection though I wonder.
