Why Essence over anything else?

Why the fox symbolism?
f = 6 (The sixth letter in the alphabet)
"reduction" is adding numbers to a smaller value (yeah, it doesn't make sense. I didn't make it up)
o = 15 = 1+5 = 6
x = 24 = 2+4 = 6
fox = 666... It's symbolism. It doesn't have to make sense, assuming the message is communicated to the insiders.

That's Gitlab's logo.
I suspect they rebranded when they were taken over.
Really, it's a pentagon (pentagram), with one side (top) pressed in toward the center.
It's also formed of 3 identical isosceles triangles.
It interesting that the previous logo was a tanuki.
Super Mario transformed into one in SMB3.
It's no longer a tanuki.
It's a fox, formed from 3 triangles, all day long. Masonic AF.

Masonic shit (and every group for that matter) copies designs from other things (for example: black-white checkerboards) because the basis of design is very limited and doesn't have many options when it comes to architectural primitives.
How about these similarities:
Masonic orange:

Possibly symbolic of this.

Yeah, it's not a tanuki (agreeing with the image you provided).
Any 1st grader would tell you it's a fox.
