Comment (by maylee):

 I heard back this morning from Kevin Reid, the creator of the original
 logo (Kevin's response below my quoted text):

 [I've included hyperlinks to the relevant original discussions.]

 It was based directly on the same “Tahoe-LAFS Architecture” diagram
 currently on the site and documentation — the relied-upon client/gateway
 (red) using the numerous storage servers (black). I do not think there
 were any other specific sources; the remainder of the design was
 integrating the diagram and “Tahoe” in a way that looked good ("LAFS" was
 a later addition). Perhaps there was some “hot air balloon/parachutes” in
 it.

 I'm pleased by my work having served well for 11 years. If you're planning
 to revise it, I'd just ask you to keep in mind that the original circles
 and arrows — and the usage of color within that portion — have the
 abovementioned specific meanings. That's just a suggestion, of course —
 it's licensed CC-BY-3.0 and also under the project's GPL license and so
 you're free to create any derivative work you want.
