A cheerleader idea is cool, but hard for a logo. Back in college when I
was in my graphic art class we did logos and were told that a good logo
should look good as a neon light. (just lines)
Great logos are the Nike swoosh or Apple's basic apple. They are easy to
create and you instantly know them when you see them.
I suppose a UMich cheerleader could be the site mascot. BSD uses the
Daemon and Linux uses the Penguin.
I personally like any idea which would include any tie to two ethernet
lines coming together. If an apple reference can be embedded that would
be great too, but not absolutely necessary in light of the fact that Apple
is touchy about that kinda thing.
If I come up with an idea, I will create an image for the list and get a
vote on it.
