And yes the "a", which is what I meant by "our left".
ROTFL Ok a Dr McCoy Raccoon owl cat thing coming right up

Well I've never been good with what other say is left or right.... It's better to make sure

Here's the narwhal with an orange tusk, with and without the æ logo, along with the SVG in case anyone wants to bend it into some other positions.

And ... do you think you could try to reduce the black shape on the face to make it just like a mask, bigger than the ae logo but not covering all the face ?
Sorry! I missed your post! Here you go I hope this is what you were meaning! If not let me know^^

i'm not against the narwhal but there's a lot of unused space around the tusk, what if it was curling around in a circle? i'd have a go at it but i never got inkscape to work on my n800 and i'm not at my pc at the moment.

the only problem i have with it is the image it portrays - big, bloated, sluggish - everything you don't want in maemo

compared to the nimble quick-thinking raccoon - although admittedly he looks a bit tired and sluggish too with 1 eye half open

Rotfl Ok But then he runs the risk of looking like he has a black eye Is this enough? Or a little more?

ian, the advantage of this as a mascot is that we can make practical plushies with it.
save the nawhal, gain a stylus!

/me could see these in the maemo.org shopfront

I don't know if this has been said before, but those mascots are very good for a t-shirt for the summit.
