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.... -- Eric S. Raymond
