No..I am sorry I have just text terminal
Yesterday I asked my mother and she also did stylized penguin as logo...I
really like it..It is very early version-my mother is very busy so I just
quiclky redrawed what she did on paper...so if you will like it it will
be inproved..I think that it is pretty nice logo...the penguin looks like
i so it can be raded as Li also it can be very very small...it uses just
circles and rectangles so it can be drawed by very simple program....and
I think that it looks quite well...my first version is not very tunned..I
am also very bussy..next week I have very signifficant exams..but better
version can come later.
