Personaly, it does not bother me to make a historical reference. The mask is not a reference to Disneyland but rather to Venizia canrival, where people change identities. Also, the mask icon is quite different from other icons, in the hope that it "flashes the eye" on desktops: http://www.freeoszoo.org/img/qemu_icon.png Anyway, if there is a potential misunderstanding, I will forget about carnival. Does anyone share John understanding here? > I like the Cheetah idea better, but I think there is Free Pascal > compiler that uses the Cheetah mascot. > Maybe a Gazelle, or a racecar or jackrabbit... I like the idea of Gazelle, which is supposed to be fast and intelligent. When under attack, she is not running in the same direction, not like other animals... Also, she is quite light, same as QEMU design. Thanks for your feedback. I will propose other logos in the next days, as I am quite busy with the FreeOsZoo site. Kindest regards, Jean-Michel
