If someone does approach him or another person to do some design  
work, we should probably specify that we want something:

1. Monty Python related (to avoid the annoying offensive imagery  
arguments)
2. Doesn't even come close to infringing any trademarks (no apple, etc.)

The problem with these constraints is that it's REALLY hard to come  
up with something that's recognizable.  At least with the ugly 16 ton  
weight icon suite we have something people are probably used to :)
