The company name Habanera came from a friend who suggested the name "Habanera Floppy Farm". We liked the Habanera part but were not convinced that the "Floppy Farm" extension was such a good idea.

Habanera literally means "from Avana". Known as a Cuban folk dance, it was born in the first half of the XIX century. Most people, however, associate the name Habanera with a part of the famous opera Carmen written by Georges Bizet. The name is also used for a very fine brand of Cuban cigars.

Although our primary goal was to make a logo that was visually appealing, we also tried to give it a technical look. The white brackets and the way in which the text HA-BA-NE-RA is ordered represent a mathematical entity known as a matrix. Since matrices are commonly used in numerical algorithms, they play an important role in Habanera's products and services. The logo has a simple graphical design so that it can be stored efficiently as a vector image. Moreover, it is still readable when printed by low resolution devices such as fax machines.
