  I was pondering this the other day, and decided to have a play at 
making a new R logo. Drawing inspiration from the original, and playing 
with the numbers 0, 1 and 2, I produced this:

  - I think I've refined it a bit since then, but that has the basic 
idea and some examples of how it looks on different backgrounds. With a 
purely optional '3.0' power flash.

  As an SVG file it's purely vector and scalable.

  If the powers that be like it then I'll find my other versions (prob 
on my PC at home) and make them available.
