Interesting! Seems reminiscent of the Mac square smiley-face logo. It looks like you could make a go at a square logo there, which would be a useful addition. I suggest we go slow with changing main logos, because they are not for showing our creativity but to show continuity to a public with short attention spans. Cheers, Wolf
