Hi,

I found the original idea of fixing the placement of the pins a funny
bug and I was not against people fixing it. Now, I'm quite strongly
opposed to changing more than that in the current drawing; which is
basically the position of *one* stroke (or five with the pins).

I think it would be a mistake to change the logo (after only 1.5 year of
use) to something that will make people go. "Hmm, they change the logo.
What's going on?" We're talking here about "brand" and "marketing" if
you want, and I don't want to change it just for more "technical
correctness" on the picture. Anyway a technically correct USB stick
would never smile, right?
