[Moving to sbcl-devel.]
Speaking as someone who seems to have at least one such bone, though
not many more than that, I think the four squares would make a
perfectly fine logo, especially given that it's already in use to
denote SBCL.
If starting with the current button design without the text, I
recommend eliminating the black border; it clashes with the white
internal lines. Use an equally-sized white border or no border at all.
