Conni,

Hmmm ... problematic in the US. The "elephant in profile" is extensively
used by the Republican Party. Other Americans? Do you think it would be
confused?

I also like the implication of using the Elephant's head rather than the whole
elephant. The thought there is that we're focusing on one of the attributes
of elephants -- that they "never forget" rather than that they are heavy,
ponderous, or slow which the body implies. (and, per Theodore Geisel, "And
elephant is faithful, one hundred percent.")

Opinions?
