I'm anxious to see the results! | | Guh! No, this is wrong. Beastie is a mascot, not a logo. Oops. | Java logo: http://www.futura-sciences.com/img/java_logo.gif | Java mascot: http://twiki.aquecorp.com/pub/Tech/WebHome/DukeThumbsUp.jpg | | McDonald's logo: http://mcdonalds.com/images/global_splash/arch.jpg | McDonald's mascot: http://www.lori.ri.gov/srp/pr/photos/ron.jpg Thanks for the lesson. Fernan | Beastie is not going anywhere. Beastie is a PITA to put on letterheads, | shirts, etc. He's hard to draw and large. He makes a great mascot, but a | poor logo. Nothing is replacing Beastie. We don't use him as a logo, so | he's not being replaced in any way. | | # Adam | +----]
