You are right in the strictest sense, but I do agree with the earlier reply that asserts the subtlety of the logo. I likes it :-).

--rjray

If subtle means "completely the wrong thing" - if it were the "Ruby Editors Software Tree" or something, it'd be OK :) A nicely drawn pause symbol would be soooo much prettier & nicer & simpler & neater & more meaningful and even more subtle, as evidenced by the fact that most people don't know what it is<g>

I'm almost tempted to drag out the GIMP and do one myself (being English, I almost said 'knock one out', but I'm aware of the connotations thank you...)

I think "completely the wrong thing" is a little bit strong. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate someone with a deeper knowledge of music correcting a misconception. However the difference between a pause and a rest is a technical one - most people would know what you meant if you used the wrong one (kind of like the URI versus URL argument that some people care about). In fact this site (which claims to be a music dictionary) equates 'pausa' with 'rest' - I'm not suggesting it's a definitive resource merely illustrating that it may be a widespread misconception.

Beauty is of course in the eye of the beholder. To my eye, the current (but apparently technically incorrect) PAUSE logo fits well with utilitarian and pragmatic solutions common in the Perl world. I wonder if your proposed logo might not end up loast in the plethora of swoosh logos already littering the web.

PS: The fact that I've posted twice in this thread, shouldn't be taken to mean that I actually care about any of this :-)

Now, knowing the meaning, the logo was a good idea, and funny! ;-P
