Hi all,

I've created the following three ideas:

* http://www.hi.is/~tryggvib/openiso_ookey.png
OpenISO opens documents (i.e. standards)

* http://www.hi.is/~tryggvib/openiso_onkey.png
Trying to update the key (I don't like it. Doesn't fit the lock)

* http://www.hi.is/~tryggvib/openiso_pkey.png
Trying to put the key elsewhere

What do you think?
