Well, I said I'd give it a shot, so here it is: an attempt to describe
callison's logo in hand-coded PostScript.  It gets a little excessive
in parts, especially where I thrash around with the color gradient
fill, and of course I couldn't resist tweaking a little bit to please
*my* eye; but the net result's a PostScript function which takes four
arguments: xposition, yposition, logo-height and release-descriptive
text.  By default, it's set up to just make the background triangle a
solid color, since the gradient fill can render, um, oddly on the
previewers I've tried; but just change `llDoGradient' from `false' to
`true' to switch.

I'd love to know what this looks like on a real color printer.

Since this version's somewhat smaller than the machine-generated 400K
logo (where `somewhat' here means `2 orders of magnitude'), I take the
liberty of appending the little monster in compressed, uuencoded form.

I shudder to think what this code'll look like to me by the light of
day :-)
