Nor I.  If someone GIMPs up something sexier, I'd be happy to adopt it.

I think it would be quite neat to have each tool logo be a different breed of 
goat on some sort of ramp, and then the whole set could be represented by 
stacking these guys like a house of cards as we have on the cover of the Goat 
Book.

Another idea might be to have each tool represented by a side on view of a 
farm animal, and the set represented by standing them on one anothers backs 
like in the children's story (whose name escapes me).

Ian Lance Taylor's family have a goat farm with a website 
(http://www.blacklocust.com) full of pictures -- we might even persuade him 
to pose and photograph some goats for us on his next visit... ;-)

Cheers,
        Gary.
