Symbolic logos do get interpreted by many people (that's the social science talking). It's important to pick something that won't be negatively interpreted. I'm not sure request/reply is a bad symbolism though. Having said that, symbolic logos aren't bad. They're good because they're highly distinctive, and help build brand awareness. I would quite like to be able to get merch/tat with a Qpid Q on it and have people just know that it's Qpid. Obviously this only applies to a certain subset of people. Maybe something with a double arrow? - Aidan (My, that's a mighty fine looking bikeshed you got there..) -- Apache Qpid - World Domination through Advanced Message Queueing http://qpid.apache.org
