Around here is an insult to call someone "parrot". But in my 
understanding, *any* symbol you use, in some part of the world it will 
have a negative connotation.

I kinda disagree, the proposals we got so far are mostly black and white 
sketches, without having yet colors added, so we may evolve them in such 
a direction.

One thing I like about Rodrigo's Arrara: for small size display (like a 
favicon or web button) we can use only the head, without the rest of the 
body.
