A tribble would be perfect given how unexpected the proliferation on n900 was. Nokia were caught unprepared like a hold full of quadrotriticale! And n900 purrs, too... not sure about earlier maemos though.

That wasn't the response you wanted, was it Tex.

My amazing art skills in play: the maemo.org tribble, just for you!

(I like the philosophy of a critter that doesn't actually know which genus it falls into... is it a phone? a tablet? no.. it a platypus!)

Overlaid on "ae" of mamo.org to show how it loosely follows.

Edit: this is the female depiction of the Great Crested Newt. I wanted to keep it simple and the male's crest just adds too much.
I really like the orange/black colors of the newt photo previously posted.
Here is some images from google images:

But I cant get it off my mind that I have might seen excatly newt like this used somewhere else with logo/trademark.

I disagree. I don't think we need a mascot at all. While an interesting diversion to waste time on, nothing I've seen here has changed my opinion that it's not really ideal for maemo.org.

They use a salamander which sort of looks like a newt.

Just for that you're now mascot.

Seriously, it's not about a need-- but based on this thread, there seems to be a big desire.

People like identification symbols, more so than words.

(oh, and the post you quoted was entirely facetious)

Well, if platypus is a no go, I vote we replace the A part of AE with a armadillo lizard, they are somewhat orange and have a natural tendency to roll into the shape of the A, though someone cold be creative and make it look more lettery. 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.
