[advocacy-discuss] Logo/Mascot Continued...

[Ted Ward]

OK, I'm new to Sun and really just getting my feet wet here on the OS 
team.  With that said, here comes the idea that my sad little brain 
produced...

A hydra of some sort...
    * The heads grow back, this resilience reflects the stability of the 
Solaris OS
    * Each head could stand for a different OS, there's your Xen and 
LDOM tie-in
    * Mythological creature, brings that creative fantasy element to the 
equation

Have fun with that.
Ted.
