Honestly, I think that it would be better to spend time on integrating strlcpy() and strlcat() so that a billion programs don't have to carry stubs for them anymore due to GNU arrogance than making a logo.

I also generally don't see the point in having a logo for a C library;
logos make sense for GUI apps, which a C library is not.

For me, it's a question of identity - and of having fun working together. A logo might help growing the community and that would help all of us.


Btw. GCC and the Linux kernel have logos - and they are not GUI apps ;)
