   Actually, I didn't take any logos from Discovery Channel. I just 
searched for a gnu-animal photo and found it on Discovery Channel website. I 
didn't know how gnus look like. The artwork is completely legal and produced 
with licensed or free software.

   I think that this is a classical misunderstanding =) ... That gnu 
picture to the upper-right is a real gnu photo. It is not part of a logotype 
... It was placed there for comparison reasons only ... Experience shows 
that it helps versus "Gnus do not have such ears" problems.

   Finally I would like to designate things clearly one more time ... The 
artwork is completely legal and was not took from anywhere, including 
Discovery Channel. The photo to the upper-right is for U to see how real 
blue gnus look like. They are very beautiful animals with deep look.

   Thanks for the letter, Joe. That clarifies some aspects to other people 
who may think like U.
