Thanks NeverSummer for the quick entries! Of the three I'm most keen to #3 and don't care for #1.
I actually don't mind you not including the cloud stuff in the brand. I think cloud is a fad and will fade just like ASP and the "information superhighway" faded.
I'm really interested on seeing if anyone creates characters for the brand and that's why I increased the prize to $400. I really like the idea of a Mr. Awesome cartoon superhero type character.
In my mind, I can see him in yellow and purple-ish tights with a cape and big gleeming smile. Kind of like these guys:
