I like it too, but I think that instead of the hexagons there should be 
gears. Then it will truly convey what SDL is - a *simle* layer (=smooth 
surface above) over a relatively *complex* stuff (gears below).
I don't mean gears as the main thing of the logo, as suggested in other 
logos. I mean gears to show complexity, as though you've opened a 
gear-powered watch.
Here's the inside of my old watch, for illustration... :)

Also, I think it will be better if the letters "S-D-L" will be part of 
the logo, and not on the side...

What do you think about something like this?

(Of course in the actual logo it should be a few generic meta-file 
gears, not a photo like here).
