Background
Logo and Iconography
The term Historion is a combination of the words "History" and "ion", meaning "history of ions" or "history of ionising radiation" which describes the software's primary purpose as a record keeping system for Dose Readings and for reporting exposure to ionising radiation. The Historion logo displays the last three characters of the word ("ion") in a different coloured font, reflecting the different meanings within the word.
The Historion® logo includes a circle that graphically represents a scanning radar "searching for ions". The name Historion for this software was first used by Rob Brown of Cybermynd Information Systems Consulting Pty Ltd in Victoria, Australia in 2009 whilst designing and prototyping the first test version of the system (initially as a Microsoft Access database) in close association with and guidance from Zoe Brady of Alfred Health.
The icons in Historion were custom developed internally by Cybermynd using Adobe Illustrator. The Historion ribbon icons and buttons in various pages follow a radiation safety theme;
