Entered ROME logo contest

A friend at work forwarded me the link to a logo contest that the developers of ROME are having. So, I got a wild hair and decided to crank out a submission. The logo above is what I came up with.
The ROME project is basically a set of Java utilities that makes it easy to work with all of the various RSS and Atom formats. The orange in the logo plays off of the RSS/XML chicklets that sites use to identify feeds. The arrows are supposed to symbolize that all roads (and all feeds) lead to ROME. Pretty goofy when I explain it; however, I kind of like the logo.
The winner will get some swag like a t-shirt with the logo on it and a bunch of stuff from Java One.
