Yep. I now start understanding why people were giving the costs estimates
of few thousands of euro for the that basic design package: e.g. for
facebook we need cover and avatar (latter would do for the twitter as

May be later we should think of inviting some guys from a design school -
they must be looking for graduation projects to make, and may be they would
be willing to do that for free :)

YA
