Every time I look at that cassette logo, I think I'm looking at an

Maybe even, a lovestruck teenager 40 years ago:-) For me, if the desire
is to evoke thoughts of historical music players, then the HMV type
image is much more attractive than tha

The image of the cassette is off course a reference to music and music
devices lost in time. It's a device that revolutionised the way we
listened (and recorded) audio at home just like the Slimdevices did for
music files. For me personally it's nostalgia to think of the days i
spend recording rad
OK, that kind of makes a bit more sense to me now. (Which might be me
anyway, maybe everyone else got it without any explanation.)
And I think that using orange and black as the primary 2 colors works,
when you put it in context. (My initial reaction to the orange was that
I didn't like it.)

Sorry to spoil but I really don't like that cassette logo. This is sooo
last millennium.
What should the message be? We are so retro we don't just not accept the
death of that darn old Squeezebox thingy, we would wish we even could
get cassettes back?
In this context I believe it's not a good idea

Yep, and just to be clear, I get what the idea is behind it now, (the
cassette), but don't like it one bit. Orange and black colour schemes,
I'm warming to.

A small power led is a good idea.
If some users want something facier then perhaps buy one of these

An array of USB ports is good for expansion, and I would well see some

+1. Avoid the cassette, please. Even a simple (black) box would be
better.

so what I'm going to do for Gen1 is nothing on the front panel, a green

Well, the founders are from Linn, as are a few others at the company, so

I like these a lot. They are very simple and could be easily used in a
lot of different places.
It would be nice to have a symbol that could be used as an icon for
community projects. Not just stylized text.

This. The colors and fonts harken back to the original Slim Devices
logo.
