SkypeFind Flower Power

A Skype spokesperson passed on this note from the designers about the SkypeFind logo:

skypefind ratings table"The daisy-in-the-magnifying-glass icon was chosen to reflect the importance of user reviews to the success and credibility of business listings on SkypeFind. So where's the connection? Back when we were young(er), quite a few of us pulled daisy petals one by one, wondering if s/he likes me... or likes me not. The daisy theme is meant as a lighthearted visual play on that theme -- in the context of Skype users 'liking' or 'not liking' a business listed in Skype Find."

skypefind reload tipTip: Right-click on Skype's daisy tab. You get a menu option to "Reload" the tab. This will get a fresh list of your friends' entries and comments.

Flower was an image asscoited with ICQ as well as the flower power words, why does Skype not come with its own brandings and instead nick it from other companies????
