another logo possibility

The other approach is to do the precisely the opposite, for instance  
look at  Red Hat, or Tux, or the BSD daemon. All instantly  
identifiable. However they don't mean anything, they're "just" logos.  
The logo doesn't have to represent anything, it can even be an  
insider joke (the Red hat logo was precisely that), it just has to  
work as a logo and allow brand recognition.

We shouldn't get fancy, we aren't designers here. Stick to something  
simple. I rather like the latest logos (attached) that Rob made.  
What's wrong with having a few < /> angle brackets? its a logo, the  
people it means something to will get a chuckle, the people that it  
doesn't won't care.

As always, YMMV.
