I think the last ones with the writing pad underneath have the perfect tilt to make the horns signify _both_ E and M. I think if the other ones could be tilted a bit more to get the same sort of duplicity. However, it seems to be that the niftiness is bought at the prize of recognition value: the "M-x" GNU head logo seems strongest in that regard to me. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
