Hi,
This is follow-up to
* http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2009/08/msg00131.html
I think graphics itself in a nice one but I have concern for how it is
used and its negative impacts.

I did look into the history of this logo.

* Shrinking current graphics blur image too much and unfit to use it
there.
After some thought, I came to conclusion that asking artist for the
solution is good idea. Thus I am CCing this mail to the artist:

I like your lenny graphics on my Desktop but I see some issues with the
current http://www.debian.org and http://wiki.debian.org pages with your

Can you propose solution to the issues I raised.
Thanks for your attention.
Osamu
