The link didn't work - but I get what you mean, and agree completely.
Unfortunately, I am not so much a "good drawing" person as much as a "good
putting-together of drawings person."

This was actually my second draft, but there could be many. <RANT>If I could get
better fonts working in Debian 2.1, that would help too.</RANT> Also, I won't
take it badly if someone comes up with a better draft. I'm out for the best
logo, not necessarily _my_ logo.

If someone wants to make a neat looking Gnu, I could put it together with some
other other stuff to make a logo. Also, what size are we looking for? I made
my image 100x100 just because that seemed a nice space to work with, but we
could do a "Get Netscape Now!"-sized logo or even something bigger.

::thinks:: What about .gif images? Isn't there some type of problem with GIF
files and the FSF/GNU project? Does this mean that JPEG files are probably
better to use?
