Tux is a mascot, not a logo. These are Linux logos:

I like Red Hat the best, and SuSE is the worst, IMO.
Are we forgetting about the printing aspect of things? The redhat logo has some nice gradients in it.
The image that is sometimes used as an all-round Linux logo is not "just Tux", but rather a particular representation of Tux in combination with a logotype and an orange splash. The author of that logo is clearly aware of the distinction between a logo and a mascot:

These are too complex to be used as logos.
And they just plain suck, IMHO.
Here's a page (a NetBSD logo contest entry) which addresses many of these concerns, and coincidentally underlines my point about the daemon not being exclusive to FreeBSD:

Technically very clean, but too cute.
Riddled with opinions! :)
(this is so good I'm surprised NetBSD didn't adopt it, and I'd love to
see it submitted to the FreeBSD logo contest)
Eeuh, no. Too cute. It's important to avoid anything that looks like a cartoon.
The logo displayed on the NetBSD site is a zillion times better.
More opinions!! jesus, does everyone have one of these? :)
