[MonoDevelop] An idea for MD new logo !?

[Gennadiy Donchyts]

It looks like a set of knifes for me :), a bit too sharp.

it is hand training device in a shape of Mobius stripe .. but looks nice :).


I've tried to put it with a text and here is some result
http://don.env.com.ua/files/MonoDevelopLogo.png.

I'd also play a bit around text/fonts.

Best regards,
Gena
