Does anyone have a version of the Lisp lizard from:

  <http://www.normal-null.de/lisp_logo.html>

in the glossy style but with a transparent background. I want to
include the logo on a page with a colored background.

prettied up a bit...

This probably wants to be a PNG (alpha channel), but transparent PNGs
don't currently work in IE.

yeah, its ugly. Antialiasing the edges with the colour of the
background has gotten gifs to work well enough for me though

Since a rather large part of Common Lispers seem to use non-Windows
operating systems, and thus, not Internet Explorer, this might be a
non-issue. Of course, one might want to use some of the hacks to make
PNG-alpha-blending work in IE: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/
