Data Portability needs a new logo because of RedHate

Red Hat uses the 2,300 year old sign for infinity which is a sideways 8 to carve out the letter F for Fedora Core. Dataportability.org, the most user centric act on the Internet right now, received a C&D for having a similar logo. (they look nothing alike besides the similar use of the infinite symbol.) They use the infinite symbol to show that we will have to sign up for an infinite amount of web sites in our life time without the D in Data Portability. The only similarities are the letter usage inside the logo and the fact that they are similar shades of blue. Unreal, Red Hat just lost a fan or two I’m sure. At any rate, the folks behind Dataportabilityorg are busy trying to help us, the users, and so they have asked folks to start a logo design content. If you are handy with a Wacom tablet or love chilling in front of Photoshop or The Gimp, give it a shot! Eat that Red Hate! =P

 

Does this logo in any way whatsoever cause you to think of RedHat? I think not. But who am I do judge?

 

Update, here is my attempt. I’m not the best with logos but I gave it a shot. Tried to capture the spirit of the original and make it seem like the user is "on the go."
