Yep, the bee theme is something that Dave Page thought of some time
ago. The bee is a logo used by the city of Manchester as a reflection
of its 'working class' roots. It would be nice to incorporate it into
a logo I think.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll pass it on. Printing is obviously a
concern, but it also needs to be recognisable and 'friendly' for
newcomers (or 'gnubees').
