On page 8 "Generation 4" you have the icons for 3 projects, but ours doesn't
have our name. I might recommend:
http://bazaar-vcs.org/LogoOptions

Which has one with our name underneath the merge sign. It is also available in
.svg (see one of the links above it). Certainly I think just the merge symbol
isn't quite enough for conveying the project.

Also, I have to say:
http://betterexplained.com/articles/intro-to-distributed-version-control-illustrated/

Has some of the best artwork I've seen discussing DVCS. It is a shame they
don't mention Bazaar. But I know you've seen it, since you've already posted a
comment :).
