Will readable lines make the case? It all boils down to the question  
you pose: "what's its function?".

I think there's a difference between what's workable and what's  
`attractive at first sight'. These days everything must be "web20",  
soft, polished, nice graphics, ...  Too attract people, it must not be  
workable, but pretty. I agree with the poster about the "90s look".

If the function of the screenshot/logo is to attract people and make  
them click through, it must be appealing AND pick their interest. The  
one screenshot on worg with the R plots has some of those qualities,  
but I think it's too dark and contains too much info (window is too  
big for a scaled-down screenshot).

The alternative --only the logo-- is not bad, but I would add a  
slogan, such as "Your life in plain text"; short and bold. The logo by  
itself is not well-known and might not invoke this "Hey, what would  
that be? Let me see!" reaction.

Hmmm, are there any marketeers on this list?

Cheers,
Peter.
