1. Constellation


Random personal observations:

- I find the spiral a little too abstract. Also, I get a little cross- 
eyed looking at it: I think my brain wants it to be a marble, but  
gets confused by the top of the spiral.

- I'm a little neg on the whole water droplet analogy; I always find  
myself mentally leaping from "mind like water" to "mind like a  
sieve". Also, the droplet reminds me of an infamous internal  
educational video made by my paranoid former company about not  
leaking Secret Stuff to outsiders. This is unlikely to be a general  
concern :)

- I didn't notice a chinese flag similarity. But to me, the  
constellation looks like a horse standing on the side of a hill. The  
body position of the brightest star, er, makes it look a little as if  
he's, um, about to drop something.
