I thought that people in Bohinj more ore less agreed(*) that we don't want any animals as a logo (except for your elephant, of course ;-)). Wasn't this the reason, we tried hard to come up with a geometrically formed context logo?

It's not a logo. It's a mascot, like TeX lion, linux penguin, GNU gnu and so on . Cow fonts was made from Duane Bibby's illustrations ,as far I know, so no doubt that they are in TeX tradition

Sure, but that's just visual jokes; you're not advocating a real 'pluche' animal are you? (hm, reminds me of this inflatable pig that the pink floyd guys use(d), a big inflatable cow floating above the context conference location) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
