Glad you like it, but as with so many things, the design wasn't an idea 
completely out of the blue, but was instead heavily inspired by prior art. 
BeOS already had the lighting up icons, then I think ZETA added the round 
corner frames. I arrived at the final version with it's dead center logo 
after messing around a bit with more complicated layouts. Somehow the 
centered logo gives the strongest impression.
