Yeah!

Sort of... a bit more than humans do.

*Sshhhh*, it's not -really- an L, it's just some negative space that
kind of looks like an L (we don't want anything that's particulary
linux specific) ;-)

The thing I prefer about this one over the swirl is that it is more
distinctive.  The swirl over the genie bottle seems kind of klunky,
and doesn't have a sense of unity - they are two seperate objects...

I would really like to see the DG(L) one as a nice big chunk of bright
blue plastic - that would look neat, IMO.  Keychains, anyone?
