You may be right: I googled for a insight/gdbtk/gnupro logo without
success: I do not have the historical background for insight/gnupro.

At least 64x64, but 256x256 would be better. A vectorial icon would be
great (we can instantiate any size). See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1157545.

This would be great! A professional work is almost always better. So I
won't start a redesign myself.

Currently I scale up the existing icon at package build time: this
solution is temporarily acceptable, although not producing the nicest
icon :-|. So I'm not hurry, but the quicker the better.

For now, I periodically adjust the github one. You can start populating
sourceware.org from there: it's better and more recent than the snapshot
I sent you. In any case, a true official repo (with possibly write perms
for me ;-) would be preferable.
Thanks for the reply.
