[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 00/16] Move the Mesa Website to Sphinx

[Jason Ekstrand]

With all this talk of fancy looking new websites, I decided to take a crack
at being artsy and coming up with a fancy-looking logo to put on it.
Here's a first rough draft:

It's not great but it turned out better than I expected.  That version
looks good on a light background but it could probably be tweaked to look
good on dark/black if we want.
