I think the lid-less logo is just fine for us;  I like it a lot.  There's
no point in making it obvious it's an unfolded cube;  people will get it
when they go to our booth at a show and see a pkgsrc cube folded.

One of the best logo I know of is Carrefour's
(http://www.carrefour.com/).  The best proof of that would be that it
hasn't changed since it was introduced 50 years ago.

It's really not obvious it's a C embedded in a diamond, and usually
people won't realise until they're told or they really concentrate on
it;  which nobody really does because it's not what a logo is about.

Of course, once you see the letter C in it, you never look at the logo
the same way, it's not the red arrow opposed to the weird blue arrow
anymore.

You got that right, pal.
