I like the logo. The bottom line is a bit short, as Remko already said,
but I don't know if this is just a getting used thing. The "Psi" text is
a bit thin though. I'd wish for a bit of a stronger font. Probably the
bordered icon will never appear together with the text anyway (if used
as an application icon or so).

Looks good. I like the background image. But recently I saw Firefox or
Thunderbird (not sure anymore) in their window, they had a gray
drag&drop image with the Applications folder target displayed in the
image, that illustrated quite well that you need to drag the icon to the
Applications folder, with no long description used.

Maybe the borderless Psi logo would better fit on the white drive icon,
perspectively corrected then. I think the Firewire drive icon (aside
from the yellow colour) has a similar look.

I like it, really. Sorting OS X before Linux is nice. :D The font could
be a bit stronger again, I think. More black than grey, if it's such a
small font.
