No matter how long I stare, I see nothing more than a *remotely similar*
shape. If you'd take what you mentioned as a sound argument against
usage, you'd probably end up with no logo at all, when all is said and
done. IMHO, that would be taking much more precaution than necessary.

Count me in the E/F camp, and by far (in fact I'd even say they're the
only variants I like *a lot*, the rest stir no special feelings in me).
The E/F logos and stylish, yet simple. They remind me a bit of a hot air
balloon. And I mostly agree with Pam.
