So anyway, I thought I'd take a crack at a 16x16 Camelia. I think this does tolerable fair as a favicon: http://www.wall.org/~larry/cameliafav.ico To be honest, I thought I'd have to simplify her a lot more than turned out to be necessary.

I want something with gut appeal on the order of Tux. snip Hence, Camelia. I'm quite happy with Camelia being the basis for the logo for the Perl 6 language itself.

I think the happy version is much better than any angry or violent version. We want the logo to evoke happiness after all. -- Darren Duncan
