POLL IS UP!
Not too long ago, I started an interest check for my colorway called, “RetroBlight”, and somewhere along the lines a suggestion was brought up by Elrick and jdcarpe.
So the idea is that we should have a universal logo that would be put in place on every OS key for every keyset.
It could be something related to GeekHack that defines our community, or something really plain and simple like a star.
Here is the conversation:

Great set!
Frosty, what about just investing in a single ICON to symbolize the Windows, Various OS’s and such?
That way, we all know that in that area we aren’t morons wanting to see Windows Logo sitting there reminding us constantly that we are using a Windows setup. Time to finally grow up and mature because we need a UNIVERSAL Logo that sits in that position and lets any user know that it’s OS related only.
Sick of paying for extra Windows, Linux and Mac Logo Keys constantly in nearly every Group Buy held here on GH. Time to finally release an all encompassing ICON that can be applied for every known OS that was ever made or will be made, plus for the poverty stricken give them a cheaper option. Remember Henry Ford’s famous quote back when you can have any colour you want for your brand new car, as long as it was BLACK (something to think about here).
I really like the idea of having a universal logo. However, I have no idea what kind of image could represent this set as it didn’t really come from anything special.
Doesn’t have to be specific to RetroBlight. It could be used by any and every GB going forward. Something really universal.
So what would you guys like to see replace the OS key for all of our sets?
Here is a list of symbols that could be viable which will be updated periodically.
