I'm not really attached to the penguin. The GPSD logo looks the way
it does because I'm not a visual artist - I swiped that image from a
defunct open-source project (some kind of solver library that I only
vaguely remember) removed some obtrusive text from Tux's tummy, and
fixed up some other details.
Trouble is, I haven't thought up anything compelling to replace it -
nor has anyone made a better suggestion. The Open Source logo is a
flat graphic that wouldn't mix well visually with an image of a GPS
satellite.
Copying this to the GPSD dev list, maybe someone there will have a
creative brainstorm....
