Robb,

Could i bother you to write up some additional concepts with just the Monitor Display and the Squeegee, and maybe some sort of swiping.  Example: Monitor with Squeegee leaning against it. Monitor with Squeegee wiping it like a window. etc..

Thanks,

Cameron

Re: [opensuse-squeegee] Squeege Logo concepts

To this i would say lets keep the Display and the Squeegee. I think it makes sense.
