[ps i assumed by what was written you meant for this to go to wine-devel but didn't hit reply-to-all, sorry if it was meant for me only]
There's the application, and button with a wine bottle, that says 'works with wine'. You could come up with quite a few jokes with that.
heh, true. It doesn't look good with the first letter capitalized, at least imho, and probably wouldn't alter the impression non-initiates would get. I tried putting "windows emulator" underneath, but it looks a bit out of place and kind of reduces the impact. It also makes it harder to scale down, at 50% of the size you can still read the "works with wine" text, but not the "windows emulator" underneath.
It might also piss off people who say "Wine is not an emulator" :)
Actually, letting people make jokes about it might be a good thing - I doubt many people would actually take it literally and assuming they do find out, if they're talking and joking about it, they're more likely to remember it too.

I think it looks great, but if I were a Windows app owner, how would my potential users see it?

Of course we all know what it means, should the 'W' be capitalized to differentiate it from alcohol?
I don't intend to start a logo flame war, but I think perceptions are everything.
Good thing I'm only around for another 90 minutes today :P
