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. > > The problem is that doing that kind of logo is non-trivial - it really takes > talent to give the image of a fat penguin in just a few strokes of a brush.. > > Linus > Honza
