I've always wanted to redesign the Drupal icon (druplicon). When I first saw the face in the water droplet, I was reminded of the Alien Heads that you often see in cheap t-shirt shops. I saw it and immediately said, "Oh, this is some code that's made by kewl L1nUx h@ck3r Ge3k5." But then I started playing with and thought, "This is really good." I installed it for iaslash and it stuck.

A few years later. I still find the Druplicon very geeky and un-serious. So on another thread where I played with some Drupal T-Shirt ideas for the guys going to LinuxTag, I said I would try to come up with a design idea for a Drupal logo. And here it is:

I played with the idea of water droplets. One of them tries to form the shape of a lower case "d". The other one reminds me of atomic models or planets orbiting in space.

This is coming to a head for me because an in-house client I work with on a Traction k-log is now looking at Drupal. On the surface, Drupal doesn't appear to target itself at the business community, but I really wish it would. So this is my attempt to make a less geeky looking logo. I don't think my water droplets are perfect, but the concept is there.
