Rather distinctive, aren't they? :)

"...culturally recognizable symbols - something that a particular peer group might recognize, but nobody else."

As far as the Sisu logo goes, that works fine, but the Starfleet logo or the Apple logo? Particularly for the latter, the "nobody else" seems like a kind of a stretch to me -- I mean, how many TV shows have people using Apple laptops with the glowing logo prominently displayed, for example? How many people own an iPod? Have many people have seen any one of the ubiquitous Apple ads, either for their computers or iPods or whtaever? On that front, sounds like we're talking "average consumer" rather than "particular peer group"...

That said -- love the idea!

Well, we had to pick some logos, and these were easily demonstratable and easy to cut :-)

Though, would an average consumer care about such a logo enough to pick it up and follow it where it leads? Maybe you would need to be a regular Apple geek to do that? But, I have to say that communities formed around mass-market products don't necessarily mean that you would have anything else in common - in fact it might mean that a significant percentage of the people are total morons...
