Several years ago I created a windows system on a bare metal RPi. There was an wallpaper with a raspberry on its center. Now I am recreating the system for a P2, so the first candidate for a wallpaper symbol is of course this:

A request is in with marketing- will get back to you !
One of the things that really impresses me about Parallax, and about you in particular @VonSzarvas, are the responses we get outside of “normal business hours”.
This speaks volumes to me, and is to be commended!
Us moderators usualy monitor 7 days a week. We try to keep Parallax focused on documentation and manufacturig.

The result:

I like Pik's first effort. The painted look is stylish - has a lot more tonal effect and even the bleeding/spillover feels right.

Inkscape is my favorite utility.
Then please, make the SVG suck less
Of course, art is always very subjective, but here's what I knocked together using this reference:
Note: you can embed SVGs, you just need to

Nice highlights! (I didn't get an error.)

no errors here with link.
Apologies @pik33 - I've removed the link and added a zip file instead to post #23.
PNG'd for convenience.
I'm slightly bugged by the shading on the right wing being just mirrored (and I guess lack of transparent background)
At this resolution a transparent background is not that much important. This version of the hat is shaded! And it looks like it came from a 3D modeller program
