I feel the "cyber" look and the hard edges of the wordmark doesn't quite fit with the roundness of the image but like the general idea (maybe a "sharper" style for the same idea).

Giant squids are pretty close to the International Orange (Engineering) color.

> We need a totem for our t-shirt that is yet to be printed. O'Reilly owns the Clyesdale. We need something else.
> We could have a fluffy little duck that quacks 'hbase!' when you squeeze it and we could order boxes of them from some off-shore sweatshop that subcontracts to a contractor who employs child labor only.....
> Or we could have an Orca (Big!, Fast!, Killer!, and in a poem that Marcy from Salesforce showed me, that was a bit too spiritual for me to be seen quoting here, it had the Orca as the 'Guardian of the Cosmic Memory': i.e. in translation, bigdata).
