Here’s my rather crude mockup of what I’m suggesting, which is even suitable dimensions for a favicon, and could be used the a word mark to make it clear that it’s Tox:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="52560ED5-9203-4932-82E9-BFC02022838D" src="cid:89284674-2BCC-4D34-844C-06B3A02542F1" class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div class="">Just a thought :)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers,</div><div class="">Dave</div><div class="">

The sign<br class="">creates an association that it is a way towards something and then the name<br class="">tox starts to read like "to X" to me , but I don't want to go to X, because<br class="">X is a failed test. If anything I want to go from X to . (or 'o' as short<br class="">for 'ok' or a really, really big dot).
