Well, it's not so much as a trademark
thing, in my mind, it's just that when
I saw the puzzle sphere and some of
the suggestions about using some
of the puzzle pieces, it reminded me
of the Microsoft usage of one piece
of their suite being for each of the
puzzle pieces. So there is definitely
"something" to remind "someone"
about this usage of software pieces
and pieces of the puzzle. Maybe I'm
weird or something but that's the 
first thing I thought of, I'm sure that
I wouldn't be alone in thinking this
way.

There are far too many questions
in my mind about this logo to give my
support to the concept.

Sincerely,
Jay B.
