OK, I was not aware of that. I did download it yesterday and it is a great program, I have been using it for years.

The IrfanView logo and mascot is a flattened roadkill cat. The 16px icon has tire tread marks across the caricature; the 32px icon is this "non tire tread" version; and the 48px icon has a gradient across the cat's body. The author of the software does stress, however, that he bears no ill will towards cats. In fact, the IrfanView website pictures him holding a cat.
