Hah, interesting. Fortunately we serve different markets so there shouldn't be any conflict there.
For reference, to make the Liftoff Software logo I just used the Unicode airplane symbol, skewed it a bit, then drew that curved tail on the end of it. It was meant to look like a bit of clip art I remember from ages ago that was for an imaginary travel company.
Once I had the figure drawn I tilted it slightly so it would look a bit like a smiling Pac Man. It took me about an hour and I think it turned out alright. The primary motivating factor for the design was to make something that was easy to scale down into a favicon.
