I've had (friendly) complaints about having any legs at all, but I think legs
are necessary. More than four legs might be a bit too abstract (too abstract
for a hurd of grazing shapes?). a hurd is one species and even making them
different shapes is pushing the concept a bit :-)
Check out (if you haven't already) Ian's stylised gnu heads. These would make
a great logo, and a (better than mine) hurd of colourful 3-D gnus (or geomes
if people prefer) could be more of a mascot than a logo.
