I think we have enough animals already. We've already got a
penguin --- the linux mascot. We already have a gnu as well. Having
yet another animal for Debian is IMHO really not the answer.
As far as marketing goes, I reckon RedHat have got it perfect. They
have a simple, bright, easily ident

GNU/Hurd was actually a pun on that idea: so why not do the simple task
and use a gnu head for the icon? Or mabye a word-picture of a gnu side

Hello Debian deveolopers and friends,
