What I would like would be something as simple as Google's logo --
similar to http://www.google.com/sitesearch/bsd.gif.  We could also have
themed logos, according to season/holidays/events etc.  Now, if only we
had some skilled graphics designer folks... (maybe we do?  If so, they
need to pipe up! ;-)

Done.  I imported it in gallery/advocacy/flyer.* -- with links from
gallery/devotionalia.html and Misc/about.html.

I'd like to include the posters you had for one of the conferences as
well (besides, I'd like to print them for myself and local use), do you
have ps, pdf, tex, jpg or anything?
