[Autocrypt] Logo design considerations

In our meeting today Holgar shared with us that he's found a designer to
work with on designing the logo for Autocrypt.
The designer would like some direction for what to design.

As far as size and shape, we seemed to agree that something that would
look good as an icon would be the right level of complexity - but feel
free to chime in if you disagree.

The big question (as posed by dkg) is: 'what do we want the logo to
communicate?  are there ideas like security or ease-of-use?  or just to
be distinguishable from other logos?'

So I'd like to have this thread discuss the ideas or feelings that we'd
like this logo to evoke. Then hopefully Holgar can share them with
designer some time next week.

Feel free to share images of inspirational design, or talk about aspects
of Autorcrypt that you think should stand out (security or automation?
Should it highlight communication or specifically evoke email?). And
hopefully we'll end up with some ideas that cna be turned into design
proposals.
