The logo 
is designed on 16 May 2008 around 9:30am and it takes several paper prototype within a hour to come out this design. The original design comprise of just purely text and is plain ugly. My intention is to deliver a working gwtClassRun first with all the functionality tentatively then spend some times along the way to spice up the cosmetic. Unfortunately, the logo is just too plain ugly to ignore. So how did I come such design ? This design is developed using Xara Studio which offers a real time view of graphics manipulation and effect. Due to unfamiliarity with the tool forces me to think out a simple and easy design that can be quickly mock up with the tool. So it begin by experimenting with Xara’s tools and find that it is intriguing to use circle within circle as logo.
This is how the logo is been interpreted. It requires some creativity and imagination but never mind, this is okay for me as I love to day-dream and wander my mind to lalaland 
. Each class is represented as a circle. Any Java application is actually comprises of many classes of various complexity and composition, and so one class ‘compose’ the other as depicts in the logo. And been circle means that it rolls fast just like a wheel. It runs like a wheel as metaphor and therefore Runnable class is EntryPoint class. Yellow gradient is used because Yellow is light and non-threatening, and it mix well with the gwt text. gwt text is placed there to indicate these EntryPoint class circle representative is pertaining to GWT. gwt is lowercase because it syncs with name gwtClassRun.
So how does the name gwtClassRun evolves ? In fact, this no brainer as it is about EntryPoint class execution, therefore it is easy to come out a list of name initially like
GWT RunClass
GWT ClassRunner
GWT ClassSwitcher
GWT ClassSwitch
ClassSwitch might reflect what it does accurately however it just too long and seem weird with two W. gwtClassSwitch.
So in the end gwtClassRun wins because it is shorter, fluent and easier to understand. The lowercase of GWT comes about as I surf the net to seek inspiration from existing artwork that pertain to GWT like extension eg. I came across gwtExt and it seems to me that such lowercase single-word naming is prevalent for product relating to GWT. Hence, GWT ClassRun becomes gwtClassRun, and I really like the new name. Capital letter words are somehow distractive and too standout. Since GWT is already so popular, why not give other product name visibility ? So I guess putting gwt as lower prefix really is attractive and suitable.
