As you may or may not know, I am trading a medieval tent ($500 value)
for a new LinuxChix logo (> $500) from my friend Colin.  He sent me
the roughs of his ideas today, and they are COOL!

For background, I asked him to do the following:

1. Come up with cool new logo.
2. Redo old logo more professionally in case people hate the new logo idea.
3. Come up with a spelled-out "LinuxChix" logo in nice font.

He had a truly excellent idea for a new logo: a woman at the controls
of a giant robotic Tux.  This brings together the idea of women and
Linux in a visual way that is actually flattering to women and doesn't
resort to stereotypes to get the message across.  I'm impressed in
spite of myself.

Here are the resulting rough sketches:

Please go check them out, they are beautiful!

Colin's comments:

These are the roughs for the LinuxChix Logo.  They are blue, but can be
done in any color scheme, with most likely black, white, and blue, and
light blue, or some other three to four color scheme.  The final would
be done in block color, very crisp and bold, and can have background
elements like number 2, and any font or even a new one.  Let me know
what you think.
