Typically website logo leads back to the main page of the site, so maybe 
that functionality should be only on the main page?

(Easter eggs are supposed to be slight harder to find, right?)


If it's done with JS / SVG, maybe it could also fetch the latest Mesa 
release version number from some file in the site, and show that e.g. on 
the gear(s), rotating with them.
