</div>I like the bumble bee, even though I haven't seen one in decades.<br>
Are they officially recognised as extinct yet? I'll know the world is<br>
going in the right direction when I see the next one.<br>
<br>
I like the butterfly concept, but to remove it from negative<br>
connotations that others have mentioned, perhaps we could have it on a<br>
tsunami background or something that would convey 'the butterfly<br>
effect'? If that could be achieved, it would be an image that would<br>
match the aims of the project and then some.<br>
