Perfect. You got it. I take it the image is transparent and that everything is done in layers. Right?

Thinking more about it, let's go with the green from 50. You had it right the first time.
Can you also add the top design of the bottom drive without the FlexRAID logo to the upper drives?
The upper drives don't feel like hard drives to me and they need to.

Okay, let's work with 51.
Things to change:
1. I don't like the green. Try finding something in between what you had before and what you have in 51.
2. Can you make the front green instead of blue?
3. Please refine the top drives. Maybe add the same top and the bottom drive just without the logo.

  Or maybe, make the top drives smaller versions of the bottom drives in 50 and 48 (two from 50 and one from 48).

Very good job. I particularly like entry 50. Can you refine the top disks a bit?

Entry 35 is a good improvement. I think you need to find devices that look a little more like hard drives. Thanks.

  Also, try to see if you can incorporate the FlexRAID logo into the design: http://wiki.flexraid.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/fl70h_w_sh.png

@Openegg... #36 to #39 , variations on the theme.

@Openegg... Latest design #28... Have kept simple because at 64x64 pixel there is little chance for fine detail, the idea here is that the storage pool looks like a 'pool' being filled.

  1. It is best to not have a system in the illustration.
  2. The design needs to be more abstracted as per the two example illustrations.
  Thanks.

Also, look at the attached files for inspiration.
