I am still pushing for a sticker to replace my old rainbow bitten apple logo on my RX3 mazda. heck I would print them if I had a good logo that I thought might get attention. anyone with any Ideas can e-mail me off list even. While I think a star and a penguin should be on the logo, maybe a big M or the word mandrake in the background would be good. Please do not include the logos on any Mandrake supported web site, since I have already considered them. If I had my way, an extra dollar would be tacked on to the Powerpack and Prosuite boxes to pay for and include the logo sticker, and a note encourging everyone to "show the bird" on their cars. I firmly believe Apple survived without Steve Jobs, mainly because of the lasting advertising value of all those apple logos on the back of VWs and Mazdas. let's consider some low cost methods of getting "name recognition" for this great product, that by it's nature uses "word of mouth" (and word on the internet) as it's most important advertising tool.
