1/ I believe the logo is for "NDN platform on Android", not just NFD

2/ My main concern about this one (the first one from Alex's set) is this image of "core" or "center".  We'd want to promote "distributed" notion for NDN. Even for NFD, I'd view it as a muxer, not center in a device 


> I'd suggest picking something that looks good as an icon (very little or no text, careful use of detail, unique looking), does not feel like it is from another era, etc.      That one is a little close to the services icon, but adding text would work for NFD, esp given NFD is a surface.

I would like to unblock myself with the choice of some logo, here are the options I have right now:  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0l03dtbw8vomhl9/AABsNwxhUFpqAwxROXRCdSoBa?dl=0 <https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0l03dtbw8vomhl9/AABsNwxhUFpqAwxROXRCdSoBa?dl=0>
