The logo makes me nostalgic for my days as a BeOS user: http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/34752/128/beos_people_users_icon http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/34752/128/beos_people_... UPDATE: If I remember correctly, the original BeOS icons were all 32x32 pixel art. I didn't find the original in my first quick Google search, but I found the above link instead which appears to be from an open-source stock icon set based on a vectorized version of the BeOS artwork. It also happens to match the image used on the MobileWorks site. Here are some of the original icons from BeOS: http://dsandler.org/entries/images/2007/beman.png http://dsandler.org/entries/images/2007/beman.png and http://media.soundonsound.com/sos/feb00/images/beos_1.l.gif http://media.soundonsound.com/sos/feb00/images/beos_1.l.gif I didn't mean to imply that MobileWorks was copying anyone (or for my off-hand comment to get voted to the top of their launch announcement discussion). Their web site may be a licensed use of this stock art, which itself is an inexact copy/interpretation of the BeOS art.

Never seen this one before though I did play around with Haiku at one point. I will let our co-founder and Chief Design Officer know.

  If you're a team of 4, what's the role of a Chief Design Officer?

    I would guess it's partially "have a funny title".

I tried using BeOS back in the day, but it was a BeOtch to get the drivers working. Linux in it's many flavours ended up being enough to scratch my geek itch.

It's a pixel-for-pixel copy of the yellow guy from that logo, down to the irregular shadow on the collar.

No offense taken! Thanks for your keen eye. In fact, it is a licensed use of this very image. Image classification is one of the tasks our crowd specializes in! You should consider joining the MobileWorks crowd. :)
