...except design a "pure Perl" logo. :-)
www.perlmongers.org has three logos suitable for putting on your
website: 'download Perl', 'use Perl;' and 'Perl News'. I think
there's room for a fourth logo on that page (and the rest of the Web).
And the good thing about perlmongers.org is that it is an independant
entity. There's no problem promoting Damien's book next to the
Third Camel, or any other really good Perl book from a third or
fourth publisher.

Sounds like an idea to start yet another logo design contest.
I'll personally put a full FreeBSD install set into the prize pool:
4CD set of 4.0-RELEASE, case plate and a handful of stickers. (That's
not as generous as it sounds; I got 300 copies of 4.0 yesterday, and
they're coming with me to yapc, again. I think a complete
blue-spine collection would go over much better.)
