Actually I had a hard time fitting America continent into logo. I had to 
strip the whole Atlantic ocean to do that :) Again, I was quite 
satisfied with  the final version, because only small parts were left 
out. Now after your suggestion there was no way to "distort the world" 
so I made "foot" a little "fat" to include the rest of asia and Japan :)

Here is the result:

If this one is better, I can base other versions on this one.

Another suggestion off the list was to make the title with the official 
Gnome logo font, I would gladly do that, I just need the font name, or 
better, the font itself :p

That way, people would argue about why they got in the foot when they 
deserve getting in toe :) I think this slightly breaks curent concept.

Thanks for suggestions!
