Re: A newer logo

I hear what you are trying to find. I sketched out a camel, a penguin,
and a man on a paper in hopes of finding a mascot. It looked great on
paper, but not all that good on the PC since I don't know how to draw in
3d. Though at the same time, I thought to myself that everyone has a
cartoonish mascot and the logo that I came up with is a bit different. 

I can work on it a bit here and there to revamp it, but I totally think
that we should stick to it.
