I think your version tops it though.

Flexibility. It obviously represents the amalgamation of excellence and
flexibility.

"reasonably well"? You must be an Englishman, as that's typical English
understatement.

Thanks. Well, an impossible cube is a good start. Hopefully this will inspire
you to try some more impossible scenes. They are fun! :-)

Ah yes, that sounds better. So maybe it's a suitable logo for an Agile Hardware
company.

Well, I am not English but did live there for a few years, so I might have
picked it up there.

You inspired me to try my hand at animating some of those. The html makes it all
tile.
Thanks,

Hi Jeff,
I really like this. I am surprised by how well it actually works, given the
awkward shape of the gears. Occasionally the gear teeth don't seem to fully
interlock, but there's some redundancy in your set-up, so it all keeps turning
nicely. At least, I have been watching it for a fair while now, and didn't see
any hiccups ;-)
Cheers,
Erwin
