ok, but if it has this switching interaction, please dont use the logo 
as an icon for that. then we should look for something that underlines 
that switching part... we should just insert it, observe users trying 
it, and then decide how we use it in active - would that be fine? I 
guess we all noted, that something for quick switching is missing... 
lets find out what will be the best option for that.

the logo stays for the whole product, anyways... so shouldn't be used 
for very special parts of the UI, in my opinion.
