Indeed, that was an svg, thanks! I've always been reluctant to changing the logo or name of the project. But it's an interesting take and explanation. Let's see what the ongoing discussions at the ASF give. Over the years, we've seen both fans of the name and logo, and folks really against it (saying it's not a serious name for a serious project) There have been some discussions also around the idea of having a mascot. People love mascots too :-)
