I think it's unfortunate that the logo says "3D Graphics Library",
while simultaneously showing an image that couldn't look more 2D. :)

I think webgl is cool because of the obvious tie in with what Mesa
does, but maybe webgl is too concerning because it's crashing
browsers. Well, for one, that's not great. :) But, another option
would be to make an animated gif of the 3D gears to place behind the
svg text. (Sample animated gif: https://gitlab.com/gears3d)
