I like this. A friend of Sascha Wildner made a few of those case 
stickers for DragonFly and it looks really nice. I've discussed doing a 
new logo with several people, but it's surprisingly difficult for a few 
reasons:

 o	It needs to be something that doesn't look like a bug
 o	It needs to be something that does look professional
 o	It needs to be something that doesn't look cartoonish

I'm fine doing more artwork for the project, but I'd like some more 
ideas. The last idea I had was to make a dragonfly which was a cross 
between a dragon and a dragonfly. Sounds neat, but it ends up looking 
ridiculous. I'm also thinking of doing some 3D model, but again, I'm not 
sure if that's going to turn out great.

You've certainly got my permission to use my art for this. Various 
people (including myself) have tried to get in touch with Joe Angerson 
regarding the copyright, but he doesn't respond / hasn't responded for 
whatever reasons. My versions need to be reworked a little bit. I just 
recently downloaded them and noticed that they're actually only the 
half-finished versions. So I'll need to fix that.

In any case, if you have ideas regarding something original, please let 
me know and I will help bring it into the picture (drumroll, please ;P).

Kind regards,
