1) I have seen no comments on the Iwo Jima overtones
of the current logo from out numerous Japanese brethren.
Granted, whining is unJapanese, yet, one wonders...


2) I don't like the penguin-eating skua.
Why on earth focus on Linux? We're on the same boat.
Bad karma.


3) I like the goat.  Cute, horned, can be made to smile.

4) I also like the RETIARIUS.
Armed, sometimes armored, wields a trident, too.

See:

(Quicktime Tag Converter, and a nice minimalistic logo too)

Is there a gallery of logo contest entries up already somewhere?
