    Keryx needs a logo!

    Well, in the next few months I'll be releasing a new version of Keryx (version 1.0!!) and I am looking to get a new logo for it. I threw together an idea today and wanted thoughts on it, maybe some tweaks, or even a completely different logo.

    here's what the current logo is: http://keryx.betaserver.org/keryx.png
    the new logo for 1.0 that I made earlier today: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3414/...be72d5eb_o.png

    I used a kite shape to help signify that Keryx helps offline computers get updates, like a kite helps a person reach the sky. I'm trying to shy away from the USB idea for sure and get something more of a metaphor for the logo. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Sounds greek, κήρυξ maybe? You could get some symbols (something hermetic for instance, a caduceus or a winged sandal) from that, it fits with the messenger bringing updates from remote places

    Yep, that's where I got the name from. Thanks for the idea. I'll have to play around with something like that as well.

    thanks I really like the grunge style to the text and the 3d usb drive there. i definitely want to keep it simple but meaningful. the kite was just something i randomly thought of. that looks pretty good, how about something with just the text and usb in that style?

    So like the KeryX logo (with all the little things on it) but on a USB stick? (I do admit, the kite is kinda random on my pic )
