that's understandable. i think the designer succeeded, too. he does manage to 
look both dumb/emotionless and happy.

even so, i don't particularly care for him. he's a little too stiff. i liked 
that the "gaim guy" was simpler and streamlined, and felt more bright and 
energetic. i'm not violently opposed, but i would vote for another draft.

(incidentally, i like the text's cleverness too, but at first glance, i found 
it hard to read. the cleverness will probably be lost on the majority of 
users, so it might not be the best design criteria.)
