You mentioning the possibility to hire someone makes me less willing to
do it for free.

It's a good thing nobody has been on this, because we only now know of
the new logo and look for Ubuntu. The definite colors are not even
defined/public, there's no vector file of the outlines available.

Adding all the mascots would lead to a clusterfuck.

The lynx as a cat could be nice, sporty and all. But would you really
want to tie the jerseys to a specific release? You should open your mind
to simple and abstract designs, it needs to work even though *woosh* ...
there goes the cyclist.

Strange. I read Illustrator or Corel Draw format.

They require their own logo to be on the artwork. Nasty.
