In summary, the "S" and "A" in the Physicsforums logo stand for "Science" and "Answers", respectively. The different colors of the letters represent the diversity of scientific disciplines and perspectives within the forum. The placement of the letters is intentional and symbolic, representing the process of seeking knowledge and finding answers. There are no hidden meanings behind the logo, and it is trademarked and cannot be used without permission.

I just visited these forums after a long period of inactivity and I happen to notice that the S and A in the logo has been removed. I know why they are there in the first place, but why were they removed?

We are working on a memorial for our own SA.
