SELinux Mailing ListRe: Logo Artwork for SELinux?

You mean, like "Crypto Cat?" ;-} (http://www.nsa.gov/kids/images/image00004.gif) Levity aside, I'm concerned, perhaps wrongly, that too many managers and/or decision-makers will make a gestalt-like value judgement of SELinux based upon the artwork. In the same way that they shop for software at Office Max, they'll judge the efficacy of the software based upon the box. Therefore, do you think Tux-as-intel-agent would cause naive decision-makers to take SELinux seriously? OTOH, I, for one, do see the self-deprecating humor (not unlike Crypto Cat) in Tux-as-secret-agent and which would undoubtedly would play nicely on Tux's existing persona. Perhaps I'm revealing more of my psyche than is appropriate (:-), but my thinking was that the initial artwork should practically scream "Hideous Wicked Evil Death" to all who dare step outside of the Policy's boundaries; and which is why I suggested the motif of an Eagle (or even a fire-breathing dragon) with an attitude guarding the sole entrance, glowering supremely at the approaching viewer with a look that says, "Make my day. Fool." I do agree that we should post a number of different artwork layups to see which ones work well for SELinux, because I'm doubting no one artwork will really capture SELinux in its entirety, and in all contexts.
