Er, it's clear that the design is trying for a kind of `techno'
futuristic feel (the particular shades of orange and grey, and the
symbol-looking thing are a dead giveaway), but to be honest it comes as
off more as a very amateurish attempt to be trendy, the sort of thing
that feels dated before it's even released...

[I cringe to think that the artist might read the above, but I'm not
sure what else I can say -- opinions will vary, but mine is that it's
not a good logo, and especially not for emacs.]
