Thanks. I just always wondered what the circles/globes meant.
No, I don't want to do anything with it. Just wondered about the design
concept

I like the little mouse. But, I also understand that it might not be
what people want to present to their client or boss.

It seems that there are 4 images that are consistent with squeak:
1: the colorful smalltalk balloon - not a logo, of course.
2: The mouse - used as a logo
3: The SqueakFoundation logo (I don't know if you named it that)
4: the new smalltalk logo [|]
It'd be nice if there was a way to incorporate them all into one that
could represent the creativeness/playfulness of the mouse, the history
and "the escape from the ivory tower" feeling of the balloon and the
contemporary image of the new smalltalk [|].
