ping.


pd-l2ork seems to not have any problems creating a logo that is 
distinguishable from Pd-vanilla.

could I please ask the same from Purr Data?
(i'm not a visual guy myself, but my gut feeling tells me that this 
isn't rocket science; if no scalable version of the the cat can be found 
nor created, how about creating a logo in the current vein that just 
spells "Purr Data" (or "Purr") instead of the current "Pd"?)
