    The Turtle:

    Why a "Turtle"? - The original idea behind Logo was that a small robot device would be
    connected to the computer and made to move around the floor, drawing as it goes. The
    first such robot was a domed perspex device with wheels. It’s domed "shell' made it look
    like an electronic turtle. The robot 'turtle' has evolved into a graphical turtle on the screen.
    In some logos a representation of a turtle remains as the 'pointer'. In MSW Logo it has
    been reduced to a triangular pointer.
