[Unison-hackers] Logotype design

[Vitezslav Valka]

Hi Benjamin and thank you,

the reason is, that the shape of U is pasted on the sphere. So, there
is no way to make it "on" the sphere at the same time as "in" the
middle of the sphere.

For me, this is better, because it makes stronger the idea of "two
worlds connected". If the U will be placed in the center of the cube,
there will be no message to the users. It will be simple "U in a
sphere".

That is my point of view... :-)
