To the many people on my f'list with more artistic talent that I have (which is essentially all of you :>): I'm looking for a picture of a cute hippo. Specifically, one that would be suitable for use as a logo. If you felt like doodling such a beast and mailing it my way, I would be enormously grateful.
Background: A friend and I are doing a startup. We decided to name it "Life + X" where X would be the collective noun for a group of animals. After going through all the collective animal names to see what we liked, what was available as domains, and what a limited number of test surveyees liked, we are currently going with LifeThunder (a thunder of hippos). Personally, I was really hoping for LifeRomp (a romp of otters) but that did very poorly in the test survey. Which is a shame, because I'm pretty sure that even *I* could draw a cute picture of an otter. (Indeed, short of giving it a bloody butcher knife and hockey mask, I'm not sure it's possible to draw a *non*-cute otter. Hm....actually, I think it might still be cute even with the knife and mask, just in a rather psychotic way.)
