Re: LilyPond logo?

Hi All,

@ Johan: I fully agree. Done.

@ Malte: OK copied.

@ Simon: Yes I had the same feeling but I'm stuck there, still trying to
find something much better.

@ Graham: Ok, good idea but I not fully agree with the 'botany' reason (any
direct link between an apple and a computer ?)

Tests attached.

Cheers,
Pierre
