I don't think of snow as a symbol of Canada, just 'cause so many other
people have it too.

When I think of symbols of Canada, I think of maple leafs, maple leafs,
maple leafs, maple syrup, hockey, maple leafs, beavers, and blue
helmets. More or less in that order.

If you travel internationally and wear a maple leaf, people recognize
you as Canadian. If you wear a beaver, they hardly notice (unless
they're really in to large rodents and big teeth).

As for wearing a blue helmet, well, that's a different story (and,
really, it's not "ours", one of ours just thought it up :->). Travelling
wearing hockey equipment and/or syrup of any kind is simply not
conducive to getting through customs....

As well done as the snow flake logo is, it simply doesn't shout (or even
quietly and politely whisper) "Canada". I can't imagine anyone seeing
that logo and immediately thinking "Canadian Ubunteros at work". Brian's
logo, however, brings that to mind, at least for me. YMMV.

Were it to come to a vote, mine would be for madpilot's 3-leafs logo.
