That's interesting; I always pictured a downward spiral as spiralling inwards, sort of reminiscent of water draining from a sink or bath. Or like those weird spiral things you roll change around in?

I agree, but in this specific case you logically would have started in the centre of the spiral in the overhead view which would equate to downward movement in the side view.

But they definitely chose this because inverting it would absolutely be more associated with a downward spiral. And this kind of looks like a nice tree.

Ahh yep, I didn't even think of where you would start on the overhead view. Good point!
