Mixxx is a Software. And all what DJs see when playing is Wave(!). So I think Mixxx logo is not place for DJ itself, turntables and so on. You idea maybe good for retail box for turntable or any other hardware. But I think logo 2.0 is really good for Mixxx. =) It shows what Mixxx really is - DJ software, and shows how work in it (Mixxx) goes - by playing waves (position cursor, sines and so on). I can say - Logo 2.0 shows the Sound itself. And it's very original. =)
