Thanks a lot for your proposal !
I'm not really confident with having the name of the application in the logo. IMHO, this has two disadvantages: * it complicates things if we ever want/need to change the name of the application in the future * it associates visually the application with a font
Now, to the good critics :)
I like the globe idea, and the one you drew is really nice !
Now if I may add some few things, here are a few ideas. To me, shomyu is about two things: « mapping » and « people ». Your globe perfectly covers the former, but a globe alone might be a little too « simple » or classic (it is already used for the Epiphany logo for example).
As an example of the « people » concept, I really like the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Archive:Artwork/DesignService#smolt_Banner smolt banner].
Now, those were simply ideas that crossed my mind lately, and I have absolutely no idea if those are valid or not (I have less than zero graphical skills), and I don't want to influence or limit you in your creativity, you're the expert :)
