OK, so we have a pudgy penguin sitting on top of the World satiated and
bean-bag like. My original Atlas style suggestion couldn't be made
anatomically correct, a penguin's flippers, vestiges of wings, are much
too short; if for no other reason this makes it a bad idea :-)
Leonard Zuboff's idea of the Earth with a 3-D LINUX banner encircling
it is germane as he pointed out: Linux's global development and support.
Alternately, the penguin could be wearing a sash with LINUX on it.
Since a spherical depiction of the Earth limits what land masses would
be shown, a planar view (projection) might be better. The Hammer equal
area or Robinson projections produce a bowl like image of the World
showing it in its entirety. Also, this would provide a platform on
which the penguin sits.
I'm using the words Globe, Earth, and World interchangeably, that
vehicle on which we are all passengers.
