A few days ago I became aware of the existence of Das U-Boot. It appers
you're doing good technical work, and the bilingual pun appeals to
my sense of humor. This makes me want to do the project a good turn.
And, it turns out, I think I can.
I recently launched an effort called Loadsharers. You can read about
it at http://loadsharers.net and I hope that will motivate you to join
the network and spread the word about it.
The Loadsharers network needed a logo. I am not a professional
graphics designer, but given access to a clip-art archive and a copy
of the GIMP I am not bad at putting together something simple and
serviceable. Besides the Loadsharers logo I have also designed the
logos on these pages:
https://gpsd.io/
https://ntpsec.org/
(I'm also the technical lead of both projects.)
The Atlas image that I chose for Loadsharers turns out to be owned by
Shutterstock. I bought the rights to use it yesterday. But it turns
out the minimum package you can buy from them is a 5-image licenses. This
means I have free license options on four Shutterstock images of my
choice over the next year.
It would amuse me to trawl Shutterstock's archive, fire up a copy of
Inkscape or the GIMP, and design a logo for Das U-boot. I have in
mind something themed around a periscope or periscope reticle.
Interested?

The kind of charity you can force out of people nourishes about as much as
the kind of love you can buy --- and spreads even nastier diseases.
