I tried an Apple logo variation back when Steve's illness was first announced. It's not as subtle as Mak's, but this seems to be the time for this sort of thing: http://www.flickr.com/photos/imark/3210793896/

This is also very, very nice.

It's silly, but I made my tribute too: http://fusi0n.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/apple-half-mast...

For some reason, this reminds me a bit of the Dreamworks logo.

Apologies in advance for questioning an Apple aesthetic at a time like this. Perhaps SJ would have appreciated the design critique.

But someone pointed out to me the similarity with, um, POW*MIA YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:United_States_POW-MIA_flag... and it's kinda stuck in my head now. :-P

I know normally this (an image) wouldn't fit here, but I thought it was poignant and relevant considering the front page.

I put it up at www.bitkeeper.com, if you need a copyright stuck on there or whatever, let me know. Very nice logo, I like to think that Steve would also have liked it.
