The Snap's should be a bunch of cartoon nerds pushing a daemon (who obviously doesn't want to go) towards a precipice. The gnats should be a deamon with his right hand shading his eyes as if he were obviously scanning the horizon with the same bunch of nerds looking in different while holding fly swatters, with one of the nerds pointing excitedly off the side of the image. Probably all the nerds should be wearing pith helmets. The FAQ image should be of a daemon in a press hat sitting at a simple wooden desk in a simple wooden chair typing at an old manual typewriter, obviously concentrating (his tongue out of the corner of his mouth). Several nerds could be reading sections of a long spool of paper coming from the typewriter The README or "about" or "info" should be the daemon looking at the viewer (or at a document on a table) through a magnifying glass (resulting in a normal daemon with a greatly magnified daemon eye in the magnifying glass). The nerds would be peering over his shoulder with a "let me see" posture. I've always wanted one of the daemon lying on his back with his knees bent and his legs crossed, hands behind his head (elbows out) wearing sunglasses with a glint on them (obviously taking in some Sun). A "top view" version of this would be ideal for a beach towel. Maybe at the bottom of the towel could be the caption "Don't Panic!". A 30 degree above the surface 75 degree to the daemon's left (not quite a side-on camera angle) picture of this scene could also make a good poster... And here we go again. 8-).
