=== Five Reasons For Tristian ===
- A white (polar) bear fits nicely with the predominantly
cold blue colours of Trinity (which we mostly inherited from KDE 3.x);
- A friendly-looking mascot with a simplistic/comic style
(not abnormal flatness or geometrical abstraction which dominate contemporary Plasma et al.) looks welcome and thus effective for newcomers;
- A bear is quite anthropomorhic and thus we can come up
with more interesting designs with the bear doing something like a human would;
A polar bear can be both qt and strong (pun intended ;-);
Tristian's name reminds one of the project's name
(Trinity Desktop).
Also, I can't think of another project using this animal as their mascot, so, as an extra, no legal issues.
I am missing the relation to the Konqi or may be Kandalf

As TDE is a continuation of KDE3, IMO it should be somehow reflected Also I do not like the bear. Sorry :)
