ad> In my opinion the gnu looks too harsh without eyes.
I don't know - my personal impression is that it looks rather evil with eyes.
I have to say, I /kind/ of agree :) I think with the eyes it looks kind of menacing, but I would like to see if anything could be changed to make them a little friendlier. Or perhaps Gnu & Europe could be our version of 'good cop / bad cop' <g>
I also think it would look better without the eyes if the eye-brows weren't so prominant - Europe is featureless also in the picture, but less attention seems to be drawn to her lack of face. I like the abstractness of the 'without eyes', though, it like it better than the with-eyes one, though only marginally ;))
I also like the fist-aloft silhouette one as well, I think that's my favourite.. there seems to be something about 'freedom' associated with it, it feels quite right.
Cheers,
Alex.
