A silhouette of someone hunched at a desk asleep with their face in a book would be perfect.

The Fail Whale should be the "old Facebook" Face being swamped with books in a library overwhelmed. It would tie the old logo back into play and associate with the website. The old face was recognized by college students all over until they opened the site for everyone.

I'm no artist, so I won't embarrass myself with bad pictures, but I do have an active imagination.

I see a cartoonish picture in greens and browns of a monkey in the jungle scratching his head and looking confused while a bunch of bananas hangs from a branch immediately over his head. The text reads, "Don't worry, we haven't gone anywhere. You'll find us eventually, you silly monkey."
