My original idea was to use a hand-painted, lower-case delta, resembling
a double-tailed spiral like an opened-out Debian swirl. Piling on the
symbolism with a shovel :-)
However the simple delta worked better on the page. Figured with all the
patching going on it would be a familiar enough idea to all involved!
The fork took all of 5 minutes. It's in dire need of a redraw to tidy
things up but might show some promise. I also thought of sprouting it
from a hilltop, tree-style.
YES PLEASE to the wine idea -- had to visit Bordeaux on short notice
last December for work (terrible hardship, not). It might be worth
struggling through a few more days in wine country helping pick a
candidate ;-)
