It's been a fairly small group of us discussing this. I'm sure plenty of people don't really care one way or the other, but we might get more input if someone posted to Planet Maemo.

To be honest, the raccoon is too cutesy/commonplace for my taste, and it's not exactly a popular animal (in places where they live). They eat garbage and maim people's pets.

Also, I think there's something to be said for having a mascot be a more unusual/memorable animal. I much prefer my narwhal idea but maybe qole and I are the only ones.

While I'm not opposed to the raccoon... I would definitely vote narwhal

OK, we'll have a vote some time next week on all the suggestions. (If that's okay... sorry, didn't want to sound like that was my decision, just thought someone should organise something.)

I actually don't have any preferences at this point. The "tube sock of the whale family" would be an easy plushie to make, though!

Is this official? or unofficial? Council???

If this is official, there should probably be submission location, and it should be raised to higher visibility. Additionally there would need to be some time to allow people a week or two to come up with some ideas submissions. This should not be decided by a few people in a thread, after a week.

If this is an unofficial mascot, I still want to finish my owl, so can we vote like in a week?

Raccoons are known carriers of rabies, canine distemper, encephalitis, histoplasmosis, trypanosomiasis, coccidiosis, toxoplasmosis, tularemia, tuberculosis, listeriosis, leptospirosis, roundworms and mange. They are also infested with fleas, ticks, lice and mites which are known transmitters of disease. Children and pets are particularly at risk.

Narwhals, meanwhile, are known to be made of win.

How about we just shoot the raccoon.

And personally, I DONT WANT A NARWHAL

I much prefer no logo to a Narwhal

Not official at all, AFAIK this whole process is all just for fun. :-)

Of course if someone in a position of some kind of authority wants to make this official...

I'm OK with the raccoon, even if they make me fear for my cat and made me modify the cat door since they used to come in and eat her food. I think I preferred the raccoon with one eye shut, which disappeared from the drawings a while ago.

I'm OK with the narwhal, too. Probably prefer it. Anyone want to do more drawings of it?

But I wonder, Stupid Little Genius, if you have any inclination to try your hand at the woodpecker.
