Great! I'm happy to hear that you like the logo. Regarding your ideas: please understand that I prefer not to collectively work on my design here. There are just too many people with different ideas. You can rest assured that the logo has gone through numerous iterations with feedback, albeit not publically visible. This isn't a first draft - maybe there is room for changes if decision makers like an "OSM design team" (or similar) decide to use my contribution. p.s.: I think it is naive to think that it is possible to create a logo that everyone likes.
