Looks like the TextMate 1 document icon for Markdown! :-) http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/tm-icon-selection.png

At some point several years ago, I was naming all my markdown files like foo.m↓, but after a while I decided that foo.mdown probably plays nicer w/ typical software. :-)

It's also similar to the solution I went with for the icon of my markdown editor, Macchiato:

I actually much prefer your logo, the arrow being part of the 'M' is (for me) more aseptically pleasing, too bad you didn't put yours forward as universal mark down symbol.

Edit: Having said that, I think Dustin's is probably easier to understand without explanation.

Beautiful app and site!

For anyone else that didn't know what this guy was talking about, its the middle icon on the bottom row.
