It *need* not necessarily incorporate the Gnu but might still
include some hint at the freedom being offered. Perhaps the
Gnu might still huddle in a corner of the canvas ?

We would also need to check whether we might be required to
include some FSF/gnu.org related imagery courtesy of being
an approved GNU project.

Not opposed but don't have any idea of how to convey this.
Also, it may hint at more than we currently offer (hardly
any vet specific needs being catered for albeit some of the
needs being covered courtesy of being interspecies.

Perhaps Star Trek offers some hints as to what might signify
"interspecies healthcare" (think of symbolism related to
Phlox' activities).

For us human beings "inter-racial" seems difficult enough :-(

Oh, btw, I've been thinking of adding some free-text /
semi-structured (say, JSON) field where one might store
biological grouping information: (non-)humanoid, canine,
feline, genus, family, species, (genetic) ethnicity, ...

Artistically I am as unskilled as any bloke from the street
so can't offer much in particular :-)
