Hi

an overall opinion, non directly related to your ideas.

The present logo (the header of the homepage, is very
informative; it only has a shape that make impossible to
use it as a real logo.

But the right part, the cat leaving the door with
the binary background alone, is quite intriguing as idea.

Why not develop a more detailed version of this
part alone? Will maintain a continuity with the
past one, that way. OTOH we do not need a mass-market
logo.

JM2C, of course. Thanks. Marco
