lament

personally I think Shrill should be doing any changes since it's his design.

he said why it's monochrome.. for printing purposes.

uhh... nevermind. as for the logo, too similar to the shuffle i think..

the winner gets a pat on the back and a big THANK YOU.. isn't that enough?

this is why I said that educating people on the home page of utorrent.com with what that µ means would be beneficial. knowledge is power! but if you do go with an ant, put it in a superhero outfit with the word "Micro" on his chest.

that could easily be rectifiied: put something on the homepage such as a definition of µ, or a pronunciation (pronounced "micro torrent") honestly, seeing an amoeba or anything else is not going to make me think µTorrent. There's a reason Azureus's logo is a frog: because an azureus is a frog. There's a a reason that Firefox's logo is a red (fire) fox (fox) with a globe (globe=internet, browser, URL, etc). there's a reason ludde/vurlix called it µTorrent and not coolTorrent, poopTorrent, tinyTorrent - because µ means small. I agree that it needs something else in addition to the µ, but the µ definitely needs to be in there. another thing.. those using µTorrent (and BitTorrent in general) are going to be pretty smart people. I highly doubt they're going to say "oh that's a U with a tail! how cute!" and even if they do, if there's something on the home page that tells them what it is, then they'll know better. problem solved.

yeah but doesn't the µ in µTorrent mean micro? we're talking about the size of the program itself - very small. micro. µ = micro, so why wouldn't it be the focus, since it's what separates it from all the rest of the bittorrent clients?
