Some time ago someone introduced Mayflower on

My first opinion about this tool was: great, but ugly logo will make
it useless ;)
Now with some help of Masur we have something a bit nicer and good
starting point for evolving something even better ;)

Very nice; I like the logo on its own very much. The addition of "Mayflower
search" or "Mayflower <br> Search Engine" below is probably a good
idea
though. At the moment I'm not sure that if someone saw the logo they would
say "oh that's the logo of a tool for searching for images" or even
"oh
that's a search engine"...
Perhaps I have my marketing hat on but the point of a logo has always been,
to me, that it clearly demonstrates at a glance what the item is; the
toolserver logo (
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wikimedia_Community_Logo-Toolserver…)
is a great example of this. What about having half the center be the
ship
and half a magnifying glass (classic symbol for a search), or something of
the sort?
Just throwing out ideas, I still like the logo as-is :)
