[Unison-hackers] Logotype design

[Vitezslav Valka]

Hi boys,

thank you for the support and inspiration. I worked on both versions
to make it more representative for its style.

So the Illustrated version is more "dream" like. And the 3D "designed"
version is a bit polished, and the bright spots are moved to dark half
of the sphere, so they are more visible :) Colors on both versions are
a little dimmed, to make it more solid, and more compact. The last
thing I did, is export the image to GIMP at double size and resize it
back to its original size with "cubic" interpolation.

Previous design:

GIMP edited version:

Original SVG (blured objects are visible only in Inkscape, not in browser)

Please compare it and tell me, if there is a way to vote for "final" version :)

Thank you for cooperation!
Vitezslav
