Does this logo even suggest I wanted to express any of "movement, sound,

energy, dance, poetry, romance, sex and rock and roll"? Well, reagrding

sound, see previous version. Otherwise do you think I'm that incompetent?
The logo is meant to express that it's about APPLICATIONS. A pretty

generic concept. With a waveform in the background, I don't consider

it important to express sound in the logo too.
Also the logo doesn't stand for linuxaudio, it stands for this particular

sub-site, emphasizing the one specific thing about it: apps.

This site is all about organisation, categorisation. Thus I'm fine if

the logo has a touch of 'office'.
If people disagree with the above, I will just stop. You can have

my work executed to my best knowledge or nothing at all.
It's interesting to see how well received the logo was before.

If it's dull now, it was dull before, but no one said so.

Oh sure. people browse from site to site until the find a logo they like.
