THE LOGO, EXPLAINED

The Red Flag Fox

A fox raising a red flag. That's the Cray logo, and it's the whole idea in one picture: the charm you can't read, and the warning you can.

What the red flag fox means

Foxes are the charmers. Clever, likable, quick, and famously hard to pin down. That's exactly what makes some people hard to read, and it's exactly why charm is the thing most likely to make you miss a pattern.

The red flag is the universal warning sign. Everybody knows what it means. The problem is that red flags are easy to spot in hindsight and hard to spot in the moment, especially when someone is charming.

Put them together and you get the point of Cray: the charmer switching sides. The red flag fox knows every trick because he could run them all, and he chose to raise the flag instead. Vibes lie. Patterns don't.
