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!

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.

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.
