Indeed, these look really great.  I like the idea of mapping identifiers
(be they Urbit IDs or URLs) to visually appealing and distinct little
graphical elements.

I'm kind of wary of Gemini clients using Urbit IDs for this purpose,
though.  Totally aside from any kind of potential IP issue, it just
seems a little rude when the Urbit folk obviously put an awful lot of
time and energy into coming up with these sigils as part of their own
project's visual identity.  But adopting the general idea I'm totally
enthusiastic about.

Any graphic designers, or similarly inclined people, on the list?
