Which makes that the heart because the liver's further down IIRC.

Hmmm, I've wondered today about making badges based on my avatar-interpretation-of-logo, where I'd create a grey-scale base that would look like a base that supported the logo (as though the logo were placed into a slight recess in the surface).
Then, I'd write a PHP script to accept a colour, it would tint the background, insert the text I give it, then overlay the logo into place to make new badges. It seems like a lot of effort but that's the sort of crazy thing only I would do, because that way I'd be able to spin new badges out for whatever teams/colours we want :)
I think it would also probably necessitate a custom font renderer since I'd keep the same font but there's no really good way to outline the font we currently use cleanly (having already tried it) but that's not exactly a killer. Either I'd get the text and draw it or encode it into the script like I did for the CAPTCHA font.

While we're on this topic, I'm attaching a few stupid logos I 'tried' a few days ago. They don't 'perfectly' click with me, but I still think they're worth reposting. I liked reusing Segoe UI Light for these tests, too.

They'd be rectangular. I didn't explain myself that well, I'll try and mock up what's inside my head later on.

I like the 'petals' logo above, it looks nice.
Here's another attempt, this time I've made it all into an arc... Like it, too.

Lulz ;) I was thinking of the Phantom's mask in Phantom of the Paradise, myself ;)
Here's another one... Maybe not as good, but it's more organic. I think the brown shape is a bit too thick here.
Or maybe this...

For me it's a toss up between the first one you posted and claw5, but I think the first one wins by a whisker.
