Let's have an open relationship
I love this, from Wired.com (which I always love): Look at Tux advocating open relationships! Highly not advisable, relationship wise, but the joke rocks.
Happy New Year/Valentine's Day everyone!
But even after the penguin had been officially adopted and named, not everyone was thrilled with Tux. Some developers muttered about the "cutesy" logo -- and they are correct in thinking it's inappropriate, claims Tony Pagano, a former teacher at the School Of Visual Arts who taught corporate logo design.
"A logo is supposed to communicate something about the company or product. What does Tux communicate besides cuteness?" Pagano said. "Tux makes the mental association of 'Toy' when people look at the image in advertising or product packaging. It's misleading. Linux is not cute."
But Slashdot's Miller believes that Tux is a "great" logo because it has sex appeal. "Women are strongly drawn to Tux, they love Tux," Miller said. "That's why Linux developers are always smiling."
