My idea : start from the almost-ubiquitous icon for a computer (Main unit + 
monitor). Paint the lower half of it (as if hollow and cut horizontally), 
with a smaller copy of the same fabled icon "inside" (maybe with a faint 
horizontal line suggesting the idea of possible infinite recursion : after 
all, Fabrice, at one time, aimed to run qemu in a qemu virtual machine...), 
the "upper half (top of the monitor) being laid "aside".

That's the first time in 30 years I regret being so lousy with graphics and 
fine arts (the only drawings I can do right are medical dissection sketches 
(especially head and neck), and you wouldn't want *that*  for a logo... :-)).
