Circular logo with white silhouette of Daphnia and its ephippium. Daphnia is located in the upper half of the circle and is depicted with a black eye, represented by a small circle. The ephippium is placed in the lower half of the circle and contains two eggs, represented by black oval shapes. Ehpippium is depicted within a sediment layer with older (lighter) layers at the bottom and younger (darker) layers on top, hinting at the lake darkening. The daphnia and the sediment with the ephippium are separated by the name of the project "Hippicap" running through the middle of the circular logo. The background of the logo is filled by a gradient from blue on the left to brown on the right, representing the browning of the lake water over time.
A logo for the Hippicap project, which examines the process of lake darkening through time by researching ephippia - the resting eggs of zooplankton called Daphnia
