Man, after a PM exchange I finally figured out why Andrew's panties are in a wad. I interpreted the missing "speak no evil" monkey as their way of saying there's nothing wrong with talking bad about the competition. Andrew thought I was saying they were telling the world they're criminals.
Did anybody else interpret my post as saying that?
Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.
...And I'll admit to misinterpreting as well. I should have looked up the 3 monkeys first - once I did I realized my error.
There's a 4th monkey. He's the "do no evil" one. I was getting him confused with the third monkey, the "speak no evil". The original saying has 4 parts, not 3.

I suppose I should have googled before posting, not after.
Anyway, key point is these are good guys and that is meant as a fun logo. No more. Let's not read more into it, for cyring out loud.

Okay, hopefully Andrew and I are friends again. You know what happens when cultures clash.
And I'll admit to never having heard of the fourth monkey!

It looks to me like the monkey is just covering and uncovering his eyes...Originally Posted by Slüdge
They could have made an argument for using the speak no evil and hear no evil monkeys. After all, they are building lights which allow you to see everything
