How's this for an icon?
@SamSaffron Thanks for all the work on this gem. We're using it on https://workingnotworking.com and it's a perfect solution for simple async messaging between server and client.
I wanted to give back, maybe make that nice website on the wishlist! In the meantime, I was thinking about a logo. I put this together today, let me know what you think. I'm working on some type treatments to go with it...I'll probably have something tomorrow.
Nice, a like the icon, but find the typeface there a bit hard to read, maybe try a less skinny font?

still, kind of prefer a slightly different typeface there, can you try a few diff ones? Sorry for being picky.

I like that font ... but maybe without that full on bus effect, or maybe tone it down some.

How about:
Gotta run but I'll check back tonight and make some more variations if you'd like.
I like this last one lots!

Veritcal vs. horizontal layout:
Horizontal probably works better in stuff like the README or a site... vertical might look nice on a t-shirt <hint, hint>
Just some random comments to add another point of view -- I like the literallity of the design, made me smile when I first saw it. Not sure how well it would work at smaller sizes; the detail of the letter flap would be lost and you risk it looking like a bus-shark. Were I to draw it (and I can't draw, no volunteering here) I would probably have the bus more cartoon-like, and probably side on, perhaps the letter higher up and with the address (grey rectangles replacing the text) and stamp side facing ...
I kind of like bus-shark ...
But maybe @cannikin we can try the envelope printed on the side of the bus? I wonder if will work better. ( these days they print ads on windows and everything so it could be quite a big envelope.)
