How about we steal the logo for pup and put a little bitty hat on him?

Sadly, its been deemed that anything with a hat is going to be unacceptable. We need to get a bit more abstract.
I understand the reasoning for "no hat" (this does not means I agree) but this have not stopped me to try a different hat, a more abstract one: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/simple_hat.png
My suggestion is we have some sort of brainstorming excersize where all we do is come up with a bunch of words or phrases that describe fedora the project, and then go back and try to sketch out an icon to match something in that word/concept association list. Without some sort of new focus, we are going to keep circling around "hats" because its just too damn obvious.
Well, no hat, no mascot, no fun. I believe a logo should be fun, something people will *want* to put on their wallpaper, t-shirt, cap etc. I expect if the official logo will not be fun enough (like the actual http://fedora.redhat.com/images/header-fedora_logo.png) people will just use some alternative ones, which they will consider fun enough (for example I know of some uses of my alternate hats - the ones published at http://openclipart.org/cgi-bin/navigate/people/clothing/hats )
I am pretty bad at English so I guess I will wait for such a description of the project to be done and see if I find something fun in it.
