I agree.  The "M" is too easily confused with "W".  Maybe if the logo
rotated at the end instead of standing still, so that each letter came
upright in turn?

The music was pasted together from orchestral samples off a music CD and
should probably not be used since it is probably covered by copyright. 
That was just tossed in to give it some life.  I will, of course, compose
an original fanfare for any logo we end up using.

Which brings up the issue of musical style.  This is probably premature
since we haven't even settled on a theme or storyline yet.  But there are a
lot of directions to go with the music.  We could use the "rock-ish" new
age type used in the mind's eye video, or more traditional "dramatic
orchestral" movie music, or jazz style, or...?  (I've composed in all these
styles, and I'm sure there are others who would be interested in
contributing compositions to the project.)

Like I said, this is probably premature, but as I recall major animation
studios do the whole soundtrack first, and then synch the animation to the
sound.
