I thought that people in Bohinj more ore less agreed(*) that we don't want
any animals as a logo (except for your elephant, of course ;-)). Wasn't
this the reason, we tried hard to come up with a geometrically formed
context logo? 

(*) those two or three that were still awake :)

It's not a logo.
It's a mascot, like TeX lion,  linux penguin,  GNU gnu and so on .
Cow fonts was made from  Duane Bibby's illustrations ,as far I know,
so no doubt that they are in TeX tradition

Sure, but that's just visual jokes; you're not advocating a real 
'pluche' animal are you? (hm, reminds me of this inflatable pig that the 
pink floyd guys use(d), a big inflatable cow floating above the context 
conference location)

Well , actually I really appreciate a *real* dutch cow... martina needs milk
every morning...
BTW, no, I'm not advocate for a real "pluche" animal.

Arrghh.. this pig (Animals album) created some problems to floyd..
"....
On 3 December 1976, during the second day, a gust of wind broke the pig free
of its moorings. Because there was no one to shoot the pig down, it sailed
away into the morning sky. A passenger plane reported seeing the pig,
causing all the flights at London Heathrow
Airport<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Heathrow_Airport>to be
delayed
[*citation needed <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>*].
A police helicopter was sent up to track the pig, but was forced to return
after following the pig to an altitude of 5,000 feet. A warning was sent out
to pilots that a giant, flying pink pig was loose in the area[*citation
needed <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>*]. The CAA
lost radar contact on the pig near Chatham in Kent, at a height of 18,000
feet and flying East. It finally landed in a farmer's field, without much
damage.

I must admit that martina particularly like O'REAILLY books for their covers
Every time that she is able to take one (i.e., every time that I'm not able
to stop her from
taking one) she says 'boooo', appartently happy to see a beautiful animal
(the book is then stressed to see if
this animal can come out from the cover, I suppose)

I don't know why 'boooo' (children have their little secrets);  BTW, 'boooo'
is much like 'moooo' .
