Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't really intending to replace Glenda
(that would be deeply wrong)---but I've always rather thought s/he was
a mascot more than a logo. As for 9 Front, they seem to already have
a logo and distinctive aesthetic and I rather think they should stick
with it (I particularly like their ironic choice of Helvetica).
In anycase, it seems to me there isn't really a logo, badge, or visual
device which represents a geneological conection with Plan 9 or
indicates the use of Plan 9-derived technology. This may be more what
I had in mind rather than attempting to rebrand the Bell Labs Edition
or 9 Front.
