Why not turn the 4 "captains" stripes into a WAVE-form so that it points

It will make us all love to be THE captain of our own NEMO devices.
Hi Jean,
The 4 stripes (especially with a loop) refer to a sea captain - both
naval and civilian, so I don't think there is further need to "point it
more towards the sea".
You can refer here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_captain#Uniform
Also, wavy stripes are associated with the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve:

Personally, I like the simplicity of the design and would rather not add
further detail but I guess it's good to have different ideas to discuss.
Cheers,
Ross.
P.S. adding this link to the logo in question again for reference:

Hi,
I personally like following two the most, can't really decide which one
is better as those have been designed for a bit different purpose (logo
vs background).
