This is all nice, but it isn't a logo. You can put some random DCT & ME stuff as a background watermark on the webpage, but having it in a "logo" is silly. A logotype should be clean and simple, while you are aiming to put there everything you like, which is the exact opposite. Actually things like this almost always appear in any public logo competition. It makes me constantly amazed how otherwise very intelligent people come up with such stuff... haven't they ever seen a logo?

I agree that Micheals sketch is not suited in all it's details for a logo in all sizes, but i still like it (would be cool for the ffmpeg homepage probably). Anyway i think often it is best to have a logo in variation for some size ranges, just consider this one for the biggest sizes.

Anyway here is yet another draft at putting it in a vector format. Download the ps here: http://www.fh-worms.de/~inf150/p/ffmpeg-logo-3.ps (I hope it doesn't contain too many bugs g )
