Reading privileged memory with a side-channel

I feel like the Meltdown logo was done by a real designer, and Spectre was designed by a bored developer.

It says at the bottom they were both done by the same person.

That's funny, but also makes me wonder how you get contracted to do logos for things like this. Based strictly on her LinkedIn, she doesn't work for Google. Maybe a friend of someone? Kind of a cool gig though.

I thought the presence of a branch in the logo was clever.
