Before Blender there was Traces. Ton started on writting his own raytracer back in 1989 on an Amiga. First Sculpt3d was used as a modeler and later it became a full animation suite. The logo was the sign for the camera in traces.   I asked Ton if he still had a Traces logo, this is all we could find. Pretty soon the software architecture was growing out of it's jacket and needed a re-design and a new implementation. First there was some thinking, then some testing, sdna was made and a new package would soon be born. At that time NeoGeo had a showreel with a song from the band Yello that would play a role in the future, the song was called Blender.
