It's just a shape. And Tux is kinda merged into it.. I think that if Tux
would be in the front, with 100% opacity, then he'd be *too* much in focus.

Using the lava look and the font together could work, only the lava layer
must not have more than 50% opacity then.. otherwise you cannot read the
text anymore. My objection against using it for anything else than in the
logo is because it would look weird on the site. Menu and header/section
titles should have the same font as the plain text. And trust me, even if
everyone would install Xfstt and the Klingon font, it would not look cool.

Don't forget some Misc info like the history and philosophy behind the
site. Those items are handy for publicity (press info). Also, when people
know of our motivation, they might just agree and contribute!
