I've just been talking with our group's artist about it. He's very
talented.
We've got a few good ideas -- he's going to noodle around tonight and
I'll probably be able to post a couple of images tomorrow.

If someone does approach him or another person to do some design
work, we should probably specify that we want something:
1. Monty Python related (to avoid the annoying offensive imagery
arguments)
2. Doesn't even come close to infringing any trademarks (no apple, etc.)
The problem with these constraints is that it's REALLY hard to come
up with something that's recognizable. At least with the ugly 16 ton
weight icon suite we have something people are probably used to :)
