I'm looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X and 
http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/09/index.html . There are some X 
representations which could have been the starting point for the XWiki 
logo (e.g. the Egyptian hieroglyph "column", Phoenician S, Greek Xi, 
Braille or Morse code for X). I would have liked to see a logo proposal 
consisting of an easy to remember symbol that is not visually related to 
the latin X, even if it didn't had a lot of meaning.

Thanks,
