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 -- luigi

Sure, but that's just visual jokes; you're not advocating a real 'pluche' animal are you?

Well , actually I really appreciate a *real* dutch cow... martina needs milk every morning... BTW, no, I'm not advocate for a real "pluche" animal. (hm, reminds me of this inflatable pig that the pink floyd guys use(d), a

big inflatable cow floating above the context conference location)

Arrghh.. this pig (Animals album) created some problems to floyd.. ".... On 3 December 1976, during the second day, a gust of wind broke the pig free of its moorings. Because there was no one to shoot the pig down, it sailed away into the morning sky. A passenger plane reported seeing the pig, causing all the flights at London Heathrow Airporthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Heathrow_Airportto be delayed [*citation needed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed*]. A police helicopter was sent up to track the pig, but was forced to return after following the pig to an altitude of 5,000 feet. A warning was sent out to pilots that a giant, flying pink pig was loose in the area[*citation needed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed*]. The CAA lost radar contact on the pig near Chatham in Kent, at a height of 18,000 feet and flying East. It finally landed in a farmer's field, without much damage. ..:" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animals_(album) -- luigi

right: no mechandising of animals and no animals on covers of books -)

I must admit that martina particularly like O'REAILLY books for their covers Every time that she is able to take one (i.e., every time that I'm not able to stop her from taking one) she says 'boooo', appartently happy to see a beautiful animal (the book is then stressed to see if this animal can come out from the cover, I suppose) I don't know why 'boooo' (children have their little secrets); BTW, 'boooo' is much like 'moooo' . -- luigi
