<p>Dustin Jorge made a nice wallpaper inspired by this GNU head. He spent
some time researching copyright for a paper he had to do for a
class. In the meantime he made this desktop. It is available in the 
following formats:</p>

<ul>
  <li>png <a href="/graphics/gnublue.png">503k</a></li>
</ul>

<p>Ville Solarius has come up with the following variations of the GNU Head 
in the SVG format: </p>
<ul>
   <li>Plain <a href="/graphics/gnuhead_plain.svg">99.2k</a></li>
   <li>Inkscape <a href="/graphics/gnuhead_inkscape.svg">99.2k</a></li>
</ul>

<p><a href="mailto: ripley@salug.it">Ripley</a> added the slogan "Your
