Yes, this is important. But thjere also can be a flashy version and a simple version, for example, the Gnome feet is colorful but can easily be reduced to b/w. > In any case, even if we do decide to make a better *logo*, we can keep > ol' blue-eyes around as the official Debian mascot or something (in case > people are worried that this is all some plot to get rid of him). Just a minor nit, I think we shouldn't make the logo at all, we should let professional artists do it. A gimp contest would be ideal. I was very impressed by the results of the Gnome logo gimp contest. Most of the entries were good logos to choose from. Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
