VideoLAN 1.0.0 logo prank on April 1st
Here is what they had to say about it:

After years of faithful service, we’ve decided to retire our old logo, the famous cone. It served its purpose, but as VLC 1.0.0 is approaching, we are dropping the passive cone and upgrading to some heavy machinery.
The whole team would like to welcome the new VLC logo: Bulldozer! Get ready for some serious earth shattering on the open source multimedia world!
VLC 1.0.0 is warming up… maybe it’s not going to be fast but it will wreck everything in its path.
And BTW they also released VLC media player v. 0.9.9 yesterday.
