*couldn't agree more*

Ok, here some idea's:
O, yes: if an complicated Logo is chosen, it will attract
complicated people, the same for funny Logo, creative Logo,
happy Logo, abstract Logo and so on...
So you can also take the queston "what kind of people do we
want to attract", and create a Logo accordingly.

Animal:				`emotional'-connection FSFE:

Gnu (wildebeast)		stubborn? (looks kinda st. to me...)
Linux-Penguin			happy, no problems (this is all extremely
				personal, but anyway...)
Blue background, yellow stars	dunno ;-)
flame				I think this might associate with `going
				beond', idealism in a construcive way (??).
Europa on Gnu-back with map	Gives me a spring-feeling personnaly.
Worm				hmmm
dog				loyal, good friend etc.
cat				...

Fish, birds, mammol (cat, dog/wolf, grass-eaters, bears, ...), insects
(lots of them...), reptilian, non-vertibrans, (plants?, minerals?, fiction?).

What about a brick, just plain and simple.
