Great painters all have their own styles. As soon as we see their paintings, we know who the painter is. Brazilian artist Milton Omena thought about these styles. Then he designed logos (标识) for the world’s most famous painters.
Vincent van Gogh was a great painter of the Netherlands. He used a lot of yellow and blue in his paintings, such as Sunflowers and Starry night. Omena designed his logo with these two colors and drew some lines similar to Starry night.
Leonardo da Vinci was not just an Italian painter. Omena thinks that he was no more a painter than an inventor. Therefore, the logo was Da Vinci’s drawing of a machine instead of his most famous painting, the Mona Lisa.
Salvador Dali, a Spanish painter, was famous for painting clocks that look like they are melting (融化). In Dali’s paintings, he often drew things in a strange and unreal way. So Omena made a melting clock part of Dali’s logo.

Do you know ChatGPT It’s an artificial intelligence (AI) tool. It can answer questions, tell stories, and write articles. But it’s very “thirsty”, said a new study from Harvard University.
ChatGPT has “homes” around the world in data centers (数据中心). When it works, the computers at the data centers get very hot. Workers then have to use water to cool them down.
