XEmacs users will be shocked & amazed with September 0.22 (if they get
and install the new etc-0.2.tar.gz package) -- I've finally included
the logo on the splash screen. This is the early draft of the logo,
but I thought y'all would like to see it for a while... It's a bit
longish, though. :-)

Yes!
It's nice, but, but

" 288 308 182 2",
182 colors?! Any chance you could trim it down to say, a dozen? I
doubt many will be willing to sacrifice their colormap for a few
seconds of glory. :-).

Ack... So THATS what ate all my colors. I was wondering which
application did that.
I can't wait for Lars' 30 second animation... I'll bet its pretty too ;->
What would be even better than just quantizing it would be to map it
to colors in the picons database. Not only will all the picons
database icons use the same colors, the picons color map was chosen
such that they should be standard colors in most X-server's default
color map.

I think the "real" version of the logo will have just two colors.
This one is an early sketch (from Luis) that I though was rather
beautiful, so I just dropped it in there for the time being.
Can one have glyphs in the mode line, by the way? I'd like to have a
tiny Gnus logo there...
(In other late breaking news: The Gnus manual is being translated
into Japanese. I don't think anybody has ever translated anything
I've written before... It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy all
over... Or perhaps that's just this woolen sweater I'm wearing.)

By the way: it's nice, but what does it actually display?

Nope. But you could add it to the toolbar at the very right side,
e.g. as a button that would bring you straight into the info pages...
