   <title>The New EPUB Logo</title>
   <desc>
      The EPUB logo is a lower-case letter E that has 
      been tilted 45 degrees to counter-clockwise so 
      that it appears to be sitting in balance on its 
      lower-left corner. The E is drawn as a single, 
      unclosed line of green starting at the centre 
      of the image, moving to the outer edge and then 
      continuing around in a box-like pattern. The
      external corners have all been rounded.
