Just got back after being out of town for a week and, when I logged back on, I saw the parrot had been replaced with a rather pixellated screen rendition of him on what looks like a T4X.

Be careful what you wish for.
You don't want people to start "Giving you the bird".

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Actually, according to the picture's creator, it's a R50.

Personally I like this much better than the "simple" bird.

I don't think it looks pixellated at all either

sktn77a, you're officially the first person to publicly complain about the logo.

lol

the image is a 256-color gif so it should look clean on most every thinkpad lcd -- even on ones with only 4mb of vram. it's actually been up for two weeks now.

i plan to change it periodically. the first one was a very quick-and-dirty job. if anything, it's not "pixellated" but is a bit over anti-aliased due to resizing it from the original.

Pixelated? The toucan looks less pixelated than he did before, I think. Admittedly his perch is a bit more subtle than before!

there is a new logo coming..!

with a clearer picture of the bird..

and i guess you missed the off color female logo that was up for a few days..
if you complain about this logo i'll have to put the woman up again..

LOR(eally)L.

Will it be the same R50 model or maybe a T4x?

this time around i used a T4x with a direct shot of the screen. this should keep T-series-owner complaints to a minimum. lol

and, once again, the image will be officially "nonny friendly" at a miniscule 8007 bytes. i only exceeded my limit by 7 bytes.

Great!

But that extra 7 bytes... How dare you?
