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 :-)
