I rather like the idea of blocks. A couple of years ago I created a
logo that until recently was used for a site for medical-student
projects - the logo was a single block with the 3 letters of an
acronym on the 3 visible faces. I actually created it as a 3-D model,
and always thought it would be cute to make an animation of it. Since
Debian has 6 letters, one could make a block with 1 letter/face, spin
it in 3-D, then have it settle with the Debian swirl showing on one
face. The animation might convey the notion of dynamism and energy as
mentioned by Ben Armstrong in an earlier message. Maybe Peter
Crystal's nice handprint idea could also be incorporated, although
clutter is a danger.
As with the 'debian' beside the swirl at www.debian.org, the single
block could be next to the word 'debian' but with a less formal font
(e.g., Kids, or Technical, or just written by one of our kids).
I'd better not wake up my 6-year-old for an opinion.
