A Swiss army knife gets its reputation because instead of being just a knife, it has a lot of different tools for different jobs. An axe is, well, just an axe, and sophistication is not what comes to mind when I think about its cutting power. That plus the fact that I think it'll be difficult if not impossible to make an axe look like a p or d means that I would suggest not to pursue the idea of using axes. I do very much like the idea of integrating a p and a d into the logo, and sadly have no better ideas to offer. :-( -- Joost Kremers Life has its moments
