Is it just me or are there others that would agree that using real life 
animal pictures are just plain cheezy? (Well, the current Lazarus logos 
with cheetahs on pillars, accompanied by other floating Delphi-inspired 
symbols are infinitely worse, I must admit).

It seems a significant portion of open source projects pick some animal, 
almost as some type of "mascot", and that is cool. There isn't one 
example, however, that I can think of where such website looks like some 
page on National Geographic. From penguins to tortoises to bats, they 
all have a smallish and tastefully done emblem (nearly always 
cartoon-like) of their chosen animal, usually sitting non-intrusively in 
the top left corner of the site. I vote for simply using the "paw" 
(/images/splash_source/paw.png). It is a beautiful piece of artwork.

A related topic that's been bothering me: can we please discuss a name 
change for Lazarus as well? It's not like a name change will hurt the 
project at this stage, methinks...

Regards,

Paul.
