James's Silly Programmed Logo Idea

For fun, on logos, if we do a competition, we can say "the logo must be submitted as a script, on an open source code hosting repository, which when run, produces the logo. The script is allowed to generate images from scratch, or to download, filter and compose public domain images, using appropriate image manipulation libraries."
