Well opensuse linux uses something similar in green which is one drawback i guess



I think technically that logo is a gecko though. I think something stylized and vectorized and from a different angle and orange would be distinct enough. Someone with more time and graphic skills should try to extend this idea a little, i think.

i would say maybe the newts head as side angle view arching up through the orange e of the maemo text or maybe have a bottom view with the maemo text like 'in' the orange and black belly pattern.
