What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings.

If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Last week, I tried describing what I was thinking for a new logo for this community. Here's my attempt at showing what I was thinking. Yes, it's very amateurish and I would love for someone to make it better, but it shows my intent. Also, I think it's somewhat recognizable when shrunk down:

I'm still open to the idea of others creating a new icon, but if I don't get anything else I might use my mod powers to declare that by unanimous consent everyone agrees my half-assed icon is the best.

That's fair, but it's the logo we've got to work with so I'm going to try incorporating it. Also, I don't know if there's any other unique image that would represent the cyberpunk genre without referencing specific works. I'm definitely open to suggestions though.
