Without the whole, it's a speech bubble. I'd assume it for was a chat app. If it's supposed to be an amalgamation of the 'P' and the 'S' then the slant should be on the other side, methinks. Either way, I still can't believe this got past senior designers, marketing and PR. Man, is that ugly.

It looks like a modded "eye", it resembles a P, as in Photoshop, it looks like a speech bubble. Also, I'm not really sure why, but the hole in it makes me want to have sex with it. I have a feeling that weird shape would make the greatest sounds of erotic pleasure as long as that glassy finish had no sharp edges and was lubed up pretty good. Aside from that, the smooth, glassy effect seems trendy and I have a feeling it's going to appear dated rather quickly. It seems like some bastard design child from Adobe, Quicktime and Saniflush. "See what's possible?" It doesn't seem like a daring design to interface with the slogan, does it? But WTF do I know about commercial logo design? I think all of the above comments are right on.

The "see what's possible" tagline evokes all manner of ill thoughts in that context. It looks like a birds-eye view of a toilet bowl or a bedpan.

You can't mix round and pointy. That's like crossing the beams. It's just not done. I don’t understand the pointy thing. You can’t mix round and pointy. That’s like crossing the beams.
