But seriously, a mascot should never dilute the logo or the brand. People are exposed to thousands of images each day, and you can't afford to use competing versions of the same logo. So visual tricks like using the "ae" from "maemo" would just mess up the ubiquity of the logo.

A mascot should never compete with a logo. The logo must be fixed, but a mascot can be a recurring theme that can appear in many different ways. So on one web page the narwhal can be clicking on the tablet (assuming the next devices are tablets), and in the next web page it can be spearing a user of that well-known closed-source proprietary mobile operating system.

Personally I like the Qole mascot best.

Kept Qole's tail though^^ It looks cute!!

I don't know, that narwhal has some appeal... after all as Fry said, "I like things that have only one thing instead of two things." lol

In all seriousness though I'm not so sure about that raccoon... I mean yea looks kinda cute and all, but the e also kind of makes it look like we're trying just a bit too hard to cram the logo in there... maybe if there was at least the signs of a closed eye behind that e or something? It could just be me, but it kind of looks like that Raccoon got into a fight and had to wear an E eyepatch or something...

The droopy eyelid pushes the design in a slightly different direction for me. Now I'm nervous that at any moment it's going to to tell me it's just expanded my house, I owe it half a million bells for the work, and, oh, would I like to buy an Exotic Rug?
