Hmm... > Let's go with this. He's very cute and I think will do the > trick! I DID find *one* pic of a young gull tryng to fly but it > wasn't very good... I think the other one (the first one) shows more self-confidence, the new one seems to fall over when a breeze comes up... http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Larus_canus2.jpg this one seems to have a clear goal, (it started heading left :-) Whereas the other one looks a little bit uncertain "Hmm, what should I do next" - but it will be hard to extract and just be yet another image that makes the decision harder... It is younger that the eggsopen_v0.5(withgull).gif (that really looks old *compared* to the chick-picktures - compared to the grown-up seagull it is young - or a different species :-) > >About the maturity issue: Concept wise the youngest seagull is best. > >Marketing wise it could be used against us when we use an unstable, > >young seagull chick. > > Frankly, I doubt our audience will get so philosohpical! <G> > We need something appropriate and friendly. Well - seagull-eggs as "logo-image" for an Office-Suite? Is that appropriate? :-) The longer I look at it, the more I agree that the initial (withgull) is too mature..(although still a juvenile gull).. And BTW: Just did a Google-Image search for "Seemöwe" (german for seagull) - and guess what: Otto (the edu-Mascot) is the second hit :-) http://images.google.de/images?svnum=10&hl=de&lr=&q=seem%C3%B6we&btnG=Suche (but the rest of the results is not worth a look) Probably "larus marinus" will give more hits, but as murb stated: At this state it is worthless to look for other images, better finish one of the existing proposals.. I'm fine with both (as long as it is with the gull) ciao Christian -- NP: Metallica - The Call Of Ktulu --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
