Story behind the FAS logo?

Totally random and maybe stupid question:
What is the story behind the FAS logo? Any meaning behind the "dots"?

It is a mathematical expression (fractal ) visualized out of chaos theory Benoit Mandelbrot as example was one of the scientists has done research about it. Many structures in nature are caculable with such mathematical expressions or formulars.
As far as I know or think because this would fit to company name ;)
 
One night Cliff was driving home from picking up a new amp to model in the AxeFX, it was a humid Massachusetts evening and the mosquitos were thick in the air. After turning on his windshield wipers, a pattern began to emerge out of the bug carcasses pushed around by the wiper blades. Thus, the Fractal logo was born.

It's the Julia set, a kind of fractal.

To begin, draw an S - for snake. Or Fractal. Er, whatever. Next, we’ll draw a more different S. Close it up real good at the top for his head and then, using consummate V’s, give him teeth, spineties and angry eyebrows. Then you can add smoke or fire, or maybe some wings, you know, if he’s a... wing-a-ling Fractal. Let’s put one of those beefy arms back on him for good measure. That looks really good. Comin' out of the back of his neck there.

Home Star Runner flashbacks!
 
I love Home Star Runner. So many great memories.

By the way, if any of you guys like board games, the Trogdor game that came out a couple years ago is a blast to play.

Has the Burninator amp model been updated for the Beta?

I loved Trogdor.

I think my favorite episode of the strong bad emails was the one where he wrote a children's book. "No two people are not on fire."
