The framing was done mathematically. The frame itself is a square,
while the open part the manta occupies is a golden rectangle (or very
close to one): 1:1.6.
The manta expands beyond the frame for a couple reasons. From a design
standopint, it allows the manta to be bigger relative to the frame.
Conceptually, it symbolizes "thinking outside the box" and "no limitations".
Granted, this logo is less abstract than the current one. It is much
less abtract than the original logo (still visible in the header
graphics on xar.com), which was made from a ventral view photograph of
an atlantic manta, species manta birostris. The goals of "active",
"flexibility", and "organic" are expressed in the pose, and would get
lost if the shape was more abstract. As a concession to abstraction
(and for simplicity), I left off the manta's mandible fins.
