I looked into this more and it turns out we already have permission to use this image however we like.

Here's the artist's page a higher quality version:

Sweet, glad we have this on hand!

Thank you!

Hi Matt and Matej,

With the logo being replaced by the Firepony, what do you think we should do for our 40 x 50 icon? (Sorry also need to request that in the bug).
Some ideas we have are:
-Calendar icon with April 1 on it
-Groucho marx mask
-Swirl of Firepony tail

I like this idea because it reminds people what day it is and why we're doing it.

Matt, any other ideas?

I would agree that the calendar icon would be the way to go...it acts as a little hint for the viewer.

Looks like we are not moving forward with this concept. Closing the bug.
