| The platypus, is shy, cute and dangerous. An interesting mix. The artwork should be in adorable colours, with a few small, menacing areas. Mostly orange and pink. Touches of danger, can be expressed in small, dark, shapes difficult to define. Make them reminscent of the poisonous hind spur in shape. | Keeping with the Ubuntu color pallete |

The font was the windows sans font. I made everything else from scratch using inkscape and the gimp.
