Symbolic logos do get interpreted by many people (that's the social
science talking). It's important to pick something that won't be
negatively interpreted. I'm not sure request/reply is a bad symbolism
though.

Having said that, symbolic logos aren't bad. They're good because
they're highly distinctive, and help build brand awareness. I would
quite like to be able to get merch/tat with a Qpid Q on it and have
people just know that it's Qpid. Obviously this only applies to a
certain subset of people.

Maybe something with a double arrow?

I wasnt quite sure how to use a double arrow other than in 7/8 below (or
even if that's the type of double arrow you meant) ...but here are some more
alternatives.

My artistic abilities are fairly tapped out at this point, so I think it's
over to Carl's actual artist after this hehe :)
