For an Ada emblem, I suggest a twig of a wine, with some green wine
leaves and a bunch of grapes.

Connections to Ada:
- Green
- Produces good, enjoyable things (= grapes and wine)
- Long-lived, portable, international
- Originates from embedded systems (= roots)
- Cluster of grapes = parallel tasks
- Developed (= cultured and selected) with care and intelligence
- Strong quality control and verification
- The Beaujolais Connection
- Runs on sunlight, as many Ada programs do.
