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"...
<br><br>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 ( <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wikimedia_Community_Logo-Toolserver.svg">
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wikimedia_Community_Logo-Toolserver.svg</a> ) 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?
<br clear="all"><br>Just throwing out ideas, I still like the logo as-is :)<br>--
