Hi,

I've been asked if the Kernel Self-Protection Project has a logo. We
don't have one, but in a world with logos even for exploits, it seems
like we're missing something. :) Other defensive projects (like the
major LSMs) have logos:

SELinux:
http://selinuxproject.org/images/selinux-penguin-125.png

AppArmor:
http://archive.is/pm43d/0d9cb927561e325784f3e6d20c97f56361795918.png

Smack:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/Smack-tux.svg/237px-Smack-tux.svg.png

Does anyone have some suggestions or sketches for a logo we could use?

I have a nasty idea, but it may take a day or two.
Bwah Hah Hah,

What about http://kernsec.org/images/overlord59-tux-halo.png from kernsec

How about a bikeshed?  It would convey how hardening is not "perfect
security", and ack the irony of spending time on discussing a logo.
I don't even have a preference as to which color the bikeshed should be.

Haha, yes, exactly. This is the opening image I used in my slides
covering the uid-0/ring-0 lockdown series at LSS on 2014:

What's the origin of that one, exactly? Maybe James knows?

Oh, cool.  Meanwhile, my Twitter poll ended in favor of bikeshed:

https://twitter.com/solardiz/status/783033528736940032

"What should (Linux) Kernel Self Protection Project's logo be?

32% A fancy penguin
42% A bikeshed
 7% Other (please tweet what)
19% No logo

116 votes"

A bikeshed would also ack the grsecurity project's opinion (as I
understand it) that trying to upstream hardening changes (through the
hoops) is sort of bikeshedding (in comparison with having made such
changes) or that the typical initial response (those hoops) is
bikeshedding, and that some of those changes (not in grsecurity) are a
bikeshed on their own.  This shouldn't stop us, but we can troll
ourselves a bit by ack'ing this dissenting opinion in the logo. ;-)

Ah, but what _color_ should the bikeshed be?  :-)

A bikeshed sounds good, but maybe we can split the bikeshed image into
a few tiles and rearrange them? You know, kASLR?

Hilariously, it seems that at least Linux Foundation decided that it's
KSPP's logo already. I just noticed it at the bottom of
https://www.coreinfrastructure.org/grants
