It's great to hear feedback about the designs; I hope the end product is something we can all be proud of and want to see Mesos stickers on our laptops in a month's time.
I agree with Ben and Yan's description of what the lowercase vs uppercase may say. As Ben described, the mark doesn't lend itself well to a lowercase/round design given its angular form. I had this mocked up, and you can see it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7fg9fvkwyxtg4z7/Screen%20Shot%202013-06-26%20at%2010.12.43%20PM.pngI don't think lowercase is a great option at this point. With uppercase, are we cool with the stylized M? I personally think it looks cool / clean.
