Hi, Let me reassure you, someone is working on a logo (picked up the task on IRC today) - he may even be on this list (take a bow, vinci).
It is GNOME Mobile. Must be GNOME Mobile everywhere, except in the first press release (historical data now) which use GNOME Mobile & Embedded initiative. Cheers, Dave.
