An idea for MD new logo !?

It looks like a set of knifes for me , a bit too sharp.

 

... maybe like http://www.artlebedev.ru/portfolio/robur - it is hand training device in a shape of Mobius stripe .. but looks nice .

 

I've tried to put it with a text and here is some result http://don.env.com.ua/files/MonoDevelopLogo.png.

 

I'd also play a bit around text/fonts.

 

Best regards,

Gena

Just for everyone to be sure of that color proximity see the VS.NET
logo colors in this Wikipedia image:

Nevertheless, I think the number 2, followed by number 3, really do
catch my eyes better. The blue in number 1 is just too dark, and the
grey isn't really evocative of mono, perhaps it could be used in the
"mono" prefix of monodevelop, instead, but I wouldn't spend time in
that direction.

Just my current opinion,
