Hi!
http://affenbande.org/~thorwil/wordpress/2006/04/07/linuxaudioorg-logo-3/
Please take a close look if there's anything that makes your eye stumble.
I'm a little bit concerned it could be mistaken for a magpie.
If this is going to be accepted in any version, next step will be moving it
to vector graphics (SVG) and tweaking.
Cheers,
Thorsten

Very nice work Thorsten!
FWIW, I feel like the hand-drawn version of the penguin with the audio waves
coming out of the beak somehow has a more convincing shape and I actually
prefer its hand-drawn "roughness" vs. the geometric purity of this version.
Is there any way we could vectorize (SVG) the hand-drawn version (it would
probably be more work but I honestly feel like it would be worth it)
including its shades of gray as well as the plateau (floor) which sort of
disappears on the right-hand side--this could be where the linuxaudio.org
text could be placed.
Best wishes,
Ico

Now that I look at it again, the black area on the body and the feet are better
in the original scribble (what a few hours distance can do ... :)

Doing either style in vectors causes not much difference in effort.
It's better to work from a clean drawing though, so I might have to
draw yet another one.

Hi Thorsten,
IMHO this one is much better. FWIW, personally I still prefer the
"roughness" of the original hand-drawing better. Is there a way to capture
the roughness of the original drawing in an SVG?

You're not alone with that, as I learned just today :)

the roughness of the original drawing in an SVG?
Hardly. I would rather create a high resolution bitmap, then.
I don't think it's the right thing for this logo, though.
What would be the message of this roughness?

this element in our consortium as well, but I personally see its

Obviously all of the aforementioned is IMHO :-). Nonetheless, I sincerely
hope it helps clarify my stance!
