Before beryl became beryl quite a few people had done compiz logo's (the
red cube with three graphics on it).

The graphics will still be in CVS/beryl svn somewhere and probably on
the forums too. Just have a look round and there will be some nice SVG's
around. If all else fails ask in SVN.

I agree with the need for a good website and community. That's where
compiz.net succeeded really well and infact the lack of an official hub
like this is one of the major factors that lead to the fork in the first
place....

(also, please note that I do not consider beryl as the fork, but the cvs
versions many moons ago with extra patches applied - this was the fork
and it's several months old - beryl is just a name change IMO).
