The new logo (July 1st 2008) has the following images in it:

  • Banded Fire Salamander (Salamandra salamandra terrestris) at the top left position of unknown locality.
  • Barred Tiger Salamander larva (Ambystoma mavortium mavortium) from northwest Texas, USA.
  • Lesser Siren (Siren intermedia nettingi) from southeast Oklahoma, USA.
  • Sequoyah Slimy Salamander (Plethodon sequoyah) from southeast Oklahoma, USA.
  • The left-most background image is a misty view taken on top of Rich Mountain, Arkansas (part of the Ouachita Mountains), USA. This is one of the most interesting regions for salamanders in the world.
  • The second background image is a slow-moving water body in east Texas, USA, known to contain a rich population of the Gulf-Coast Waterdog, Necturus beyeri.
  • The third background image is pond in east Texas, USA, known to contain Ambystomatids and Notophthalmus.
And our newt silhouette is actually the outline of a real newt - a juvenile Triturus marmoratus owned by Patrick Steinberger, Germany, and photographed in 2000. That silhouette has been in our logo since the site began in 2001.

This applies to the old look of caudata.org, selectable at the bottom left of any forum page.
