Or just use the Newt, though the whole crawling lizard thing is pretty popular, and SoBe(Pepsico) could get mad even if we are using an Amphibian instead of a reptile.

Oh My! A Maemo-coloured Ouroboros! That's amazing.

Can we use him, please - associations of alchemy, gnosticism (secret knowledge) and the cyclical nature of a world that is for ever reinventing itself. I think he's gorgous. Would he make a good pet? And perfect!

I believe I just heard the sound of a volunteer.

Just for fun I touched up the newt a bit:

But I have to admit, that spiny self-consuming little sucker is just too cool. I'll do him next. :D

Ok, played around with the armadillo lizard and made several variations. Even showed what the logo could look like with him in it. ;) Not that I expect that would actually be used.

Anyway it was a fun exercise and if nothing else keeps the graphic skills current.

Ok, so where do we actually start voting? can someone put up a poll with the best suggestions?

Why not go the whole hog (or Armadillo) and get Rovio to update the graphics in Bounce Evolution to use the critter instead of a rolling ball!

this idea just popped in my mind while reading this. since the penguin is already the symbol of linux, then we can just modify it a bit orange-y motif to suit maemo which is a form of linux with a cocky attitude...

one hand holds a spear with a pierced head of an android

the other hand is crushing an apple

a spotlight can be seen on the floor with the 4 colors of windows beneath the penguin's feet symbolizing winmo is beneath maemo

what do you guys think? feel free to draw what i imagined...=)

How about a water molecule.

Ether way up ( H = Ears or Legs ) I'm sure one of you graphics geniuses could come up with something with maybe the a and e of maemo.
