Never ask a bunch of linux nerds to design logos for you.

I've just been creeping around your site(s) and have had a bit of a giggle.

Thought I could return the giggle-favour?...

Personal favourite is a toss-up between:

"Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass. If the horses appear skittish, the motorist must take his car apart, piece by piece, and hide it under the nearest bushes" (Now there's a car incident to bitch about!)

or...

"It is illegal to sleep on top of a refrigerator outdoors"

At least Wolf's has an interesting concept which builds upon FVWM's theme. FVWM has no canonical form though it can be configured into countless states, much like tangrams. But all of these logos accurately represent the underlying idea of FVWM, namely that no matter how you set it up, it still looks like ass.

Wow, with only 7 pieces you can form over 6000 combinations? How is that even possible in our universe?!
