What is wrong with Organic? I love that fact it's got a little Organic
Carrot at the top. It's among the best looking already. Also I disagree
with the idea that each one should look unique. The only time I've seen
that in other DAW's is when it comes to the VST's because those come from
outside, and uncontrolled sources.
