@SamSaffron Thanks for all the work on this gem. We're using it on https://workingnotworking.com and it's a perfect solution for simple async messaging between server and client.

I wanted to give back, maybe make that nice website on the wishlist! In the meantime, I was thinking about a logo. I put this together today, let me know what you think. I'm working on some type treatments to go with it...I'll probably have something tomorrow.

No problem! We could embrace our heritage with something monospaced:

How about:

Gotta run but I'll check back tonight and make some more variations if you'd like.

Veritcal vs. horizontal layout:

Horizontal probably works better in stuff like the README or a site... vertical might look nice on a t-shirt <hint, hint>

Just some random comments to add another point of view -- I like the literallity of the design, made me smile when I first saw it. Not sure how well it would work at smaller sizes; the detail of the letter flap would be lost and you risk it looking like a bus-shark. Were I to draw it (and I can't draw, no volunteering here) I would probably have the bus more cartoon-like, and probably side on, perhaps the letter higher up and with the address (grey rectangles replacing the text) and stamp side facing ...

I kind of like bus-shark ...

But maybe @cannikin we can try the envelope printed on the side of the bus? I wonder if will work better. ( these days they print ads on windows and everything so it could be quite a big envelope.)

Okay I'll give that a try and see how it looks.
