[Unison-hackers] Logotype design

[Vitezslav Valka]

Thank you for your inputs, really. To sum it up, I want to make a
little speech :)

People are becoming a kind of cyborgs. We are using technology more
and more, and our way of thinking is more influenced by the way of
"computers think" (I am the same). So I independently vote for the
"ilustrated" version. It brings something natural to this perfect
world.

The second thing about this, is that if you are pretty correct, and
you respect all the rules, you become gray and invisible. But what I
love on this World is its colors! To break some rules in design -
brings a bit more visibility and "rememberability".

So I erased those stripes and saved this idea into 4 RGBA PNGs (let
Apple find the active area, I trust them). I hope you all will like
this one :-) Just let it flow into your mind for a few weeks, and you
will see it is ok.

Thank you guys!
Vitezslav
