Ehh, none of the other images really jumped out and grabbed me. Oprah looks like she's got indigestion (bad abalone?), and Odie is in the way in Opal's picture. Sure, I could use either as a model for another go -- but I just =liked= Opie, so I used him for my first attempt. (But if anybody out there has *actual* talent, then don't let me stop you if you want to lend a hand here...) I'll doodle another one, and see if folks like that. If we don't end up using the one I posted earlier, that's ok; I won't be upset. Ditto the next go-round, or the next -- as long as nobody is in a hurry. I just figured, whether we use my feeble attempts or not, at least cgf would see AN otter logo, even if it doesn't become THE otter logo. Heck, if eventually one of my cartoonish attempts is halfway accepted, then at least we have *something* to show "the larger community" if we want someone with real talent to draw a nicer version. Think of Linus's original 1993? sketch of a penguin, compared with today's 3d rendered figure. As far as other animals go, I'm drawin' otters. cgf wants an otter, I like otters -- end of story. If you want a badger or wolverine or some other member of the Mustelidae family (or even a naked mole rat or hairy clippy), then go ahead and draw it -- I won't stop you. If everybody loves it, I'll cheer. (Well, maybe not for the hairy clippy...) My only real preference (other than a prediliction for otters) is for vector art as the primary, as opposed to bitmaps (e.g. both bitmaps I posted were generated from a sketch (.sk) vector file). It's SO much easier to resize for multiple uses... --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
