Not sure what you mean with "all around the corners"?

Jonathan has added the feed now to the planet (in svn, no idea when the server 
is synced), so in the future any news on calligra.org should also make it to 
the readers of the KDE planet :)

Simply took the logo with transparent background for a start, can always be 
replaced with something better.
