It's necessarily different from the "original" jpg I used, since it's not a computer-generated copy, so I felt it necessary to email Kirk McKusick to ask whether it's ok to distribute it. Anyway, you can pick it up at the same place as earlier http://theory1.physics.iisc.ernet.in/rsidd/daemon.png (2528x1701 resolution, 129k) http://theory1.physics.iisc.ernet.in/rsidd/daemonsmall.png (474x319 resolution, 17K) http://theory1.physics.iisc.ernet.in/rsidd/daemon.eps (vector postscript, 45K) http://theory1.physics.iisc.ernet.in/rsidd/daemon.sk (original Sketch file, 22K) http://theory1.physics.iisc.ernet.in/rsidd/daemon.eps.gz (12K) http://theory1.physics.iisc.ernet.in/rsidd/daemon.sk.gz (7K) This is in more or less final form, so if the powers-that-be in the advocacy team like it, feel free to pick it up and use it/distribute it (and take care of the legal issues of including Kirk's copyright notice and so on, which I haven't done since you'd know what to do better than me.) You can easily produce a bitmap with different resolution by importing the eps file into Gimp and specifying a resolution at import time. The PNG format seems best to save it in: JPG becomes either too lossy (colours run over the boundaries and so on) or too bloated. And of course you can do other things once it's in Gimp, like adjust the colour/brightness/etc, add some noise (it looks a bit too smooth and shiny right now, which is hard to avoid in vector graphics) and so on... Note that default settings of ghostscript/ghostview don't show the eps file very well. I haven't tried printing the postscript directly, the quality may depend on your printer / your setup's ghostscript settings. Even if it doesn't work, the gimp->bitmap route above should be safe.
