i agree with LazyBadger.
Personally i dont like animal mascots for programs at all.the recognize-worth isnt that big as for a well-designed logo.take a look at the real big companies i.e microsoft, google, cocacola, nike, ebay a.s.o.none of them got an animal in their logo.
"for me" that animal things always got a taste of "fringe group" stuff or alternative software.and i dont think XOOPS should be that way.
its like here in germany with hockey teams all got a name like u.s. sports teams, i.e. tigers or blackhawks a.s.o.
in my opinion XOOPS should be more "professional" as to go for that "child-toy" taste, like lazybadger said.
on that point i wanna drop out some small crtitism to the XOOPS team.i dont like the methode you menage things like that.instead of discussing things inside the community it just goes "we want that and we do it like that.
there was a tread depending on XOOPS logo a few weeks ago and the result was exactly the same.it seems for me that all depending on grafical things are managed "behind the scene".I thought Philou was that man who is responsibly to that topic but it seems like he knows the same like me.
sure its your business but i dont think its the best way in a community relating project.
that is just my opinion, please dont feel attacked or insulted.maybe the PR team gets a real ground on working together with artists on things like that.
