What if the snakes had "eyes," that is, were transparent where eyes 
would be and in the shape of Python eyes. I'm sure there's a graphics 
word for that technique of cropping out an interior shape. Anyway, that 
would keep is as a silhouette and, you know, it's all about the 
silhouette. :)

I just know Jim worked hard to find fonts which would integrate with the 
triskelion that was discussed at the March meeting. By giving the snakes 
eyes, it would make it more obvious that the "n" is a snake.

Also, I know this is a rough, so I'm sure you've already seen this. The 
circle that makes the snake heads distinctive as heads is slightly off 
center. Although, it's off center in way that might be intentional, as 
the weighted side is towards the outside of the triskelion, suggesting 
centrifugal force.

Sorry, I just have this weird symmetry obsession that causes me to hang 
up these things. Like, I get really upset when my code isn't in patterns.
