If you're referring to the Jules Verne Birthday logo I posted about it yesterday with an attachment of a screen shot since I couldn't post the actual logo:

Feb 12: The 70th Anniversary of the Birth of Naomi Uemura (Japan)
Image

Naomi Uemura (February 12, 1941 – c. February 13, 1984) was a Japanese adventurer. He was particularly well known for doing alone what had previously been achieved only with large teams. For example, he was the first person ever to reach the North Pole solo, the first ever to raft the Amazon solo, and the first ever to climb Mount McKinley solo.
