that kicks ass!
[...]but I must re-state the concern that basing the FSFE logo on what is essentially an "in" joke is probably a mistake
...
"what does a moose have to do with free software?"
``What has a shady guy with a cowboy hat, a bottle with blood spilling out, or the budweiser lizard got to do with free software collections?'' (it doesn't seem to matter)
Satisfying peoples curiosity about our logo will be the least of our tasks. ``It's a gnu. We chose it because GNU is the name of the project that initiated the free software movement and IFSO was founded on the 20th anniversary of the GNU project.''
I think the text graphics are also great, and I think we should use them too (we can have more than one graphic y'know!). A text-less graphic is very good though because it has no language barrier, can be more eye catching, and can be more recognisable at a glance.
