I agree that this is a splendid idea. I also like the
bee-idea/logo, but I have got the feeling that it would be easier
to produce a good looking orca that is simpler to reproduce and
scale than a bee. While the bee got tiny body parts (legs and
antennas) and stripes all over the body, the orca's shape is much
simpler and have only a got a couple of big black and white
fields, and IMHO simplicity is beautiful!

The other suggestion in the original mail have NOT got the
potential of becoming a Debian logo. The reasons have already
been brought forward in the replies from Marcus Brinkmann, Jules
Bean and Nathan E Norman.
