I think I like the crocodile animal idea. The water as an SQL table
idea is interesting. Another idea would be the crocodile eating an SQL
table.

As far as the above post, if we changed the old brick wall so it looks
like an SQL table, we can change PostgreSQL to emphasize POSTgreSQL, so
we can show we are post/beyond SQL. This may be a nice distinction to
make in the web site banner image.
