Yes, this does seem to be the case. Let's stay away from known
problematic categories though like (at least for English speaking regions)
most insects, reptiles, arachnoids, and dinosaurs (the latter due to its
negative connotations in the tech world and the inevitable resultant
comments on TDE being an obsolete dinosaur). Dragons also are out due to
linkage with KDE, but most other animals can be considered.
The phoenix is interesting as I like the imagery, but as mentioned before
I'm not sure we can do that without stepping on other toes. Comments on
that issue are welcome; I wasn't involved with FOSS when the pheonix was
Firefox's logo so I wouldn't know. :-)

No one liked the heron idea? (*honest* beedback would be appreciated)
There's nothing wrong with the heron either; I think we're just still at
the "flinging ideas around" stage. > >> Cheers Michele -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version:

I am also a bit perplex by the salamander....
Legendarily, the salamander is associated with elemental fire.
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salamander_%28legendary_creature%29 )
Depictions of it in that capacity often don't resemble the real
animal all that much.
E. Liddell I'm not
sure the salamander is a good choice; OpenSUSE got away with an
iguana but most of the other reptiles are bound to induce revulsion in a
non-negligable portion of the populous. I'm not sure about a bee for
the
same reasons; it seems most people can identify with mammals and birds
but
not so much with insects, arachnids, and reptiles.
The more discussion we have about this, the more I think there there's
*something* potentially objectionable about *any* animal we could pick.
