I don't get it. What does the cube represent? And, alas, I don't think the kerning works in any of the sketchs. Can I be so bold as to suggest something along the lines of the word sugarlabs in an outline font using the line weights from the Sugar icon design rules?  perhaps each letter in its own color dyad taken from the Sugar palette? --[[User:Walter|Walter]]

:The cube is a "sugar cube".  At least, that's the logical association intended, while attempting to retain a simple form in the Sugar icon style.  I think that rendering the complete text in that style will feel quite heavy -- perhaps only the first letter?  I also retain the goal of coming up with an icon ''for Sugar'', and not specifically for sugarlabs (Though a modification to the icon could certainly serve that purpose).  The fact that Sugar lacks an identity seemed to be the reason this process was initiated.  Finally, I think it's important, regardless of what we choose, that there is an iconic form that we can use to represent sugar without associating the word "Sugar" with it.  Think of an apple with a bite, a flying window, or a penguin.  These logos all stand alone, and I think we need something equally succinct. Regarding kerning, by the way, I do offer that it might be worth pulling the 'S' out of cube in the logotype, which eliminates the kerning issues, as seen in a few of the sketches. -[[User:Eben|Eben]]
