  Yeah, that could be interesting. Another idea to explore could be replacing the green background with a vinyl record, keeping the E on top in white. 
  Also, I think the E would read better if it was open on top (instead of curlying on itself). With that change you could also bring back the clef-like bottom and it'd still read fine.
  
  @mgallien I'm not sure about youngsters not getting it. There are still bands putting out cassettes, and Guardians of the galaxy brought them back to the spotlight for a while too. And who knows, maybe in a few decades kids will look at cassettes and think they are 3D printed Elisa icons :)
