Apparently this cool design is like a mascot/logo for LLVM compiler software …
The LLVM logo is a stylized wyvern (a kind of dragon). Dragons have connotations of power, speed and intelligence, and can also be sleek, elegant, and modular (err, maybe not). In addition, there is a series of influential compiler books going back to 1977 which featured dragons on the cover. — source
I spotted the image at Jack Overfull’s website. Jack says he used LLVM to write a useful bit of Mac software called multiXFinder. I use multiXFinder every day now that the venerable Frank Vercruesse’s ASM doesn’t work any more … Mac diehards like me previously used ASM to give us a System 7-esque application switcher menu (ASM, geddit?) in the top right of our screens, a feature dropped in OSX.
Like, a decade ago.
Yeah, I resist change, sometimes.

Going crazy here with the new MultiXFinder app. It replaced the ASM app but doesn’t work on my iMac with the osx 10.7.5. Nothing shows up in upper right hand corner. Who can I contact about that. I am lost without ASM. Wrecked my entire workflow!
Multifinder X works perfectly for me on 10.8.5
