Easy Alex - don't bust a vein ;-)

I think Tim has raised a valid point, and like you I'm not keen on 
changing the core elements of the logo but definitely 'updating' it. 
Plenty of businesses do this - Coles and Woolworths are two big examples 
- and I'm of the opinion that it wouldn't hurt.

I'm no graphic designer but perhaps we could be a little more stylised 
with our logo? A cartoon Tux next to a cartoon swan? A cartoon swan with 
a Tux face (ala SLUG - http://www.slug.org.au/ )? Something a little 
more 'Crystal' or 'Tango' like?

Cheers,
Lance
