I wonder if I'm the only person alive that really likes the GTK+ box
logo. I love its cranky, not-really-serious look and feel. Granted,
it's probably not the best logo in the world for a world-class
toolkit, and it could use a refreshment,  but going for the usual
corporate-logo-with-reflections-and-bland-colors would be a downer for
me.

My useless 2 cents in the classic bike shed discussion :)

Cheers, Xan
