I like the idea of the animal mascotte, but should be something
cute,
perhaps a different mascotte for each release even?
Please don't. If we ever want to manufacture/license a mascot and change
it all the time, we will sit on a huge pile of expensive goodies that
are outdated.
If we ever should stick to a mascot, I would propose a fish. For various
reasons.
- Since Finding Nemo fish are perceived as schweet ;-)
- A fish feeds the penguin, a nice pun wrt being a Linux distribution ;-)
- A fish needs water - symbolises the ecosystem around Open Source
- A fish never sleeps ;-)
So I would propose a Blue Clown fish ala Finding Nemo. I am sure Nicu
can come up with a beautiful SVG of a clownfish with the fedora F on its
skin ;-)
