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?
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
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.
(hm, reminds me of this inflatable pig that the pink floyd guys use(d), a big inflatable cow floating above the context conference location)
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 to be delayed
[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].
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.
