i agree (again :)..
i made that logo as a freehand vector drawing with some fixes afterwards..
drawing in realtime with pov-ray is (afaik) impossible..
painting oil-colours (which is *fun*, btw) is somewhat hard with pov-ray
too..
same applies to charcoal and watercolours and whatever..

but ray-tracing works fine, and i think that's the work pov-ray should be
used to.

instead of working like an bridge engineer with mathematics, i'd like to
work with intuition, no matter what tools i use.
and so i think it would have been impossible for me to create that logo in
pov-ray.
it propably could be re-created with pov-ray now it is done, but original
couldn't been.

i checked that "easy done 5 minutes pov spline" -version without ring (is
there more versions?), but it lacks that "impression".
i spent a lot more than five minutes when planning original, sketching it
and experimenting with it..
