hi!
A second try is here:

This time it is just a photograph of a piece of paper...
Playing with characters is more ambitious, but the drawing looks overall more clean. The final h and g of the two words make the (!) and its shadow, although this is not super-clear...

btw, concerning the issues with the .eps file of the previous posts... I tought that
the link I used first worked for most people (but maybe there are problems with the https restrictions of my mail server... it is NOT my idea of using the mail server for hosting home pages!)

Dear all,

I come from buying a hp2133, and wanted to minimize kernel
requirements within Ubuntu, so, just today (!), I came across your
project: thank you for your work! Then I came across the "logo
competion" thing...

So, well, I'm not that much into the project, but I hoped I could
help. This is what I did. I do not use inkscape, and I rather use
vector graphics (SVG) above gimp-made for these things, so I
coded EPS from scratch.

Pros:

* minimal size (file .eps.gz is 1761 bytes !!!);

* no font property issues. Actually, no font loading at all, as the
characters are drawn through primitives (or is this a 'cons'?);

* some customization: there are comments here and there, mostly in
the header, which explain, for example, how to change colours, or the
tilting parameter;

* exact measures: removing the tilting, proportions follow some
geometric pattern, and there are no mouse-driven coordinates;

* geometric pattern and font shapes do interact (see e.g. letter
'g' within the dot). This would have hardly happened with
non-customized fonts, and/or non-exact coordinates.

Cons:

* actually, the graphical idea overall is not that strong, and many
other ideas in the forum are probably better;

* not showing the original symbols #! plainly, as desired by some of
you;

* more or less, needs 3 colours (background, foreground, and
bang-dot). 2 colours with bang-dot = foreground is possible but not
that nice;

* at the moment, it is badly coded, so that background cannot be made
transparent. This can be solved with some extra work.
