Actually a pause and a rest are two completely different things.

(1) A rest (which is what the logo is) means "don't play for (x) beats". A pause (or strictly speaking, a 'fermata') is for *an indefinite time period* - generally decided by the conductor.
(2) A pause *is applied* to either notes or rests. It may actually mean "keep playing this note for a bit" (think Beethoven's fifth - "da da da DAAAAHHHH" - that last note is a two-beat note with a fermata above it).
(3) A rest generally is for a single part - other people may still be playing while you're resting. Usually, a pause applies to the whole ensemble.

The symbol for a pause is a semicircle with a dot inside it *above* the stave, like an eyebrow (the smiley version would be "(." ), which I personally think would make for a better logo :)

Sorry to nitpick :)
