It doesn't have to be impressive, and that's the whole point. Pd has a
very basic interface, and people using pd care more about its
functionalities than its look. Branding doesn't always depend on shiny
graphics; if the logos and icons are designed to be impressive, there's a
high risk that a bunch of clueless newbies will complain about pd's look.
So we should keep it simple, to the extreme. We love screen captures...
