The vector outline of the logo was created using Adobe Illustrator version 8. Here's the Illustrator .ai file:

This was then imported into Adobe Photoshop version 6 for colouring, applying effects and exporting to GIF and PNG formats in various sizes. Here's the Photoshop .psd file, you can view and edit it using the Gimp:

The smallest images (110x54) are 3 colour (white, black, orange) hand tinted. The GIF image is particularly small at less than 500 bytes, but who cares about bandwidth these days?

For the larger images, the .png files are 24 bit RGB colour while the .gif files are 8-bit indexed images with an optimised palette. Note that the orange colour has the RGB hex triplet of #ff9900 and is one of the colours in the web safe palette as well as being Leon's favourite colour.
