Diaspora: An Overdue Update
Why is their logo an asterisk when it seems their whole idea is that they are the social network without a catch? The asterick at the end of their name instantly makes me want to scroll down to read the fine print.

I always thought it was intended as a "all" symbol. All your privacy, all the control, all these different apps plugging in.

Blow a seeding dandelion, and you get diaspora. Which is why the dandelion is their logo, and the asterisk is a very close approximation of that form

I wouldn't call it a logo as much as a placeholder for one.
