Is a branded term that is a bit inaccurate.  We could use a more 
accurately descriptive term, since material is what skeuomorphism is, 
but I have little to offer atm.

Spectrum:

< skeuomorphic - - - - - flat >

Technically, skeuomorphism is an applicable label for "material" design 
elements but "material" falls in the middle of the spectrum as it is 
dimensionally flat with skeuomorphic elements.

Here is a relevant discussion (the logo bit is towards the bottom:

https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2016-March/040606.html

I have copied the representative author of the software, as they may 
have answers.

For the record, the logo is reminiscent of a Christmas tree ornament (:

Wordlife,
Spencer
