I haven't seen very many that have been designed to be printed, to be  
honest, so it's true that most of them are square, to fit the browser  
window :)

This one isn't /too/ bad, although if anything they've touched it up  
a bit too much, I think:

id_11188690/opt_/fpt_/c_/hlv_t

But really, I don't think there's too much wrong with the shape of  
http://guadec.org/files/tag_23.jpg ...  perhaps just a little too  
straight along the top and bottom edges, compared to a real cloud :)

Cheeri,
Calum.
