[Unison-hackers] Logotype design

[Benjamin Pierce]

I like the second one, and I like Alan's suggestions for improving it.

However, before going too much further with the design, we need to  
make sure we're going to be able to get these whizzy new icons  
integrated into the user interfaces in the Unison sources.  I was not  
responsible for putting in the current icons and I don't know how it  
is done -- anybody willing to help?
