Back in 2007 I spelled out "Toybox" in ascii using coke zero and pepsi
one cans, and that's still linked at the end of:

http://landley.net/toybox/about.html

But as a web page background, it made the text hard to read even when
overexposed to near-white. And as a logo, it's not hugely recognizeable
scaled down. It was a nice in-joke when the project was just me, but I
stopped using it because it wasn't helping...

Lotsa other people have written toybox commands. :)

I tend to work out what name I _should_ have used for a project long
after launching it. In this case, "dorodango" would have been the
perfect name. (Endless polishing!)

But at the moment I'm personally focused on development, not marketing...
