Notice the use of decorative fonts, and other human friendly 
elements.

Also note that the Wiard "Riverdance" logo font is American 
Uncial, exactly as used by both Sequential Circuits for the 
Prophet series and Polyfusion for their logo. A fine bloodline in 
my estimation.

And, yes I was quit serious, I have built many slinky reverbs and 
taught others how to do so.

It is a small world.
