If so, perhaps we should consider: * A simple image of a bug. * An alert based 'comic' blurb (Spiked 'explosive' metaphor) Sincerely, TJS -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFw1VYar0EasPEHjQRAqzWAKDf/dQAjLmAeTdn6zOtZpBatkSlPACgno+8 PtWy/52oOpnQ07fNEEP7x08= =p40/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
