Actually, I didn't understand that 'fit it all' concept from the
beginning. It's not a World map for geography classes. Just a sybolic
thing. Anything giving the World Map idea is much more than enough IMHO.
Well it didn't have a continent previously which is a bit tricky in one
sense, but it's fixed so sybolically it's flawless i think.

Looking for countries in that simple map is really an approach that's
meaningless. Not that we had all the flags in current gnome-i18n logo.

Well there's 4 toes. 

Apart from it, logo is awesome I guess. Has a nice idea, great artistic
quality. I'm not sure if 'fit it all' worth the fuss, but if that
happens then don't think nobody will have problem with it. 

Nice work Metin.
