This blog appeared in my search and I couldn't help but clicking on it. I am glad I did because it was a very enjoyable read.

Whatever symbol, shape or image is used in a logo, the implementation can either infuse it with meaning or render it mute. An important point.

I think it depends on the use of the 'standby symbol' on whether it's original, though it's certainly never going to be unique! Interesting post.

The old power symbol is very eye-like too, just not human. I agree with you that the power button on its side looks sort of like an interruption. I sort of think that the standy symbol should retain its property regardless of rotation, though. I think a combination of the fermata idea and the power symbol on its side can accomplish this. Let's see if I can post an image directly in here: <img src="http://designosophy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/standby_opt3.gif" alt="third idea" /> Yes, a fermata does look eye-like.

I would offer that we turn the power button on its side. That feels like standby to me, for some reason.
