  I agree that Micheals sketch is not suited in all it's details for
a logo in all sizes, but i still like it (would be cool for the ffmpeg
homepage probably). Anyway i think often it is best to have a logo
in variation for some size ranges, just consider this one for the
biggest sizes.

  Anyway here is yet another draft at putting it in a vector format.
