What I meant was that we would simply have a single PNG file, that included many renderings of "Unite" in different languages. The PNG would continue to be a non-translatable entity, where the graphic featured maybe 6 or 7 different languages only, instead of 6 or 7 different "Unite" words of English text.

Really, this is the better option... just leaving the text out even though it's a really cool design idea. (It doesn't have to disappear from existing graphics like on the one-page release notes, because that's only in English anyway.) -- Paul W.
