Yeah, the general orientation does my head in. How about flipping things
around so that the ladder is on the right of the picture with the
footprint pointing away from it but with the shadow heading away from the
ladder and upright from our point of view, rather than upside down as it
is now.

I'm still not too keen on the slogan. We should ditch the PC bit since we may
use this for quite a while and other ports are on the horizon. Besides which,
I just don't like the reference to PC's.

What about, "A Giant Step for BSD" ?

Hmm, I'm not sure I like the grid points either.

This is really good work though, keep it up.
