The discussion has been and done. I think that the daemon may stay
around (though that may be just a misinterpretation on my part),
but it was disallowed for the contest logos.
My thought was to submit a logo based on a cockroach. It has lots
of appropriate qualities, not least of which is being non-daemonish. (^&
A caption could be, "Our only bugs are in the logo!" (which isn't 100%
true, but...). Or "We get everywhere." Or, "We survive." Or even,
"We have ancestral roots at universities..." Alas, I didn't get around
to doing more than the concept before the deadline.
Roaches are also non-fuzzy (someone objected to fuzzy mascotts), and
we could hardly be accused of going with the characture just because
it was cute/popular. And you can do things with roaches, giving them
toys to play with (and with 6 limbs, you've got more lattitude for
toys).
I rather doubt that we get a roach-based logo, though.
We'll see what's unveiled when the time comes.
