Well, I agree with all of the above and would like to add the following: The wording "One small step for UN*X, one giant step for PCs" just doesn't do it for me, I'm afraid. Everyone here at Walnut Creek CDROM who looked at it felt similarly. They didn't like the wording and it was generally felt that the image was too obscure - just a shadow and a footprint. I think that if you had the earth/sun and layout changes you talk about above, plus different wording, it would turn a really good image into a really *great* image! I don't mean to be entirely negative - the production values in these last two drawings has been excellent! We just need to agree on a common composition & accompanying words. I think the idea should be explored further, with more scenery. In addition to the earth, you could even put a little CDROM somewhere on the horizon! :-) The daemon could even be in a space-suit, the helmet having "horns" of course! :-) Words? Hmmmm.. The "FreeBSD 2.1" with the little daemon at the bottom was perfect, I think, we just need different words for the top. The daemon has landed? :-) You could even put a partial sentence: " .. one giant leap for BSD" Jordan
