the logo does look quite like

so if the tone is intentional then i think its pretty accurate depection.
unlike the australian magpie the European ones dont attack humans.

they would not last long in ireland if they tried unless they evolved to
withstand a hurly to the face. swans on the other hand can be vious as hell
so if they start heading your direct you get out of there way :)
/me gets teh feeling ausie magpies might be more like swans.
