It wouldn't be good to show the SGI symbol bent up either.  How about the
penguin holding its wing (flipper?) suavely out, with an sgi symbol spinning
just above its "palm".

  How about the penguin breaking thru a set of bars and he has the SGI
logo on his chest instead of a big S?

Nah, have him wear a black and white T-shirt that looks like the "my
other computer is an SGI // my other computer is a Cray" collectors
items (I think 8 were ever made of that gem) but instead it says "my
other computer runs IRIX // my other computer runs Linux"

The trick is to find some clever way that you can see both the front
and the back of the penguin, and thus see both messages on the shirt
he wears...

One of our ID guys is working on it, he's in Hawaii starting tomorrow so
it won't be done for a week and a half. He'll be rendering the penguin
and animating it with Alias/Wavefront schtuff. I've passed everyone's
comments along, hopefully we'll get something cool ;)
