Always wondered why VLC had a traffic cone icon?

One day, people from the VIA association (VIA is a students’ network association with many clubs … amongst those is VideoLAN.) came back drunk with a cone.
They then began a cone collection (which is now quite impressive I must say).
Some time later, the VideoLAN project began and they decided to use the cone as their logo.

Well, it sure is an effective icon :)

Tons of people know right away what it is when they see the traffic cone :biggrin:
