yup.  I like it - but it is male - I suggest that others simply submit
their preferred logo - if a better one comes along we can use that.  BTW
- I believe I saw a similar logo about a year ago for a t-shirt - it had
a tie-drupal a mohawk-drupal and a "traditional" drupal.  FWIW I think
the tie is kinda corporate - plays into the whole "we're the adults in
the room" thing which I find annoying.
