    I'm starting to recieve suggestions and comments and I like, that it is 
so. Aaron, Ur words seem to make sense and the global idea of GCC-GNU has to 
be implemented. I've allready noticed, that the first concept look is just a 
sketch, it is has no style definition. Now I understand that the beta 
version has to be made. The style is what will make our gnu more serious and 
global ... smooth paletes and gradients, strict contours and bold line 
widths - all this can be adjusted to "profile" gnu for different purposes.
    As a good note I would like to add, that there is only gnu at the 
present moment. I've made GCC string also and has published it one 
gcc@gnu.org, but it may be considered as a place-holder, however a start 
point. Its style has to change from subject to subject.
    So, the current gcc-logo thread now counts 2 projects : gnu-general, 
gcc-string.
