TripleO has had some discussion already around a project mascot, and we've<br>
settled on the owl logo displayed on <a href="http://tripleo.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">tripleo.org</a> and our launchpad org:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://tripleo.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://tripleo.org/</a><br>
<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/tripleo/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/tripleo/</a><br>
<br>
(There is also a hi-res version or SVG around, I just can't find it atm)<br>
<br>
This was discussed in the community and accepted here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-March/089043.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-March/089043.html</a><br>
<br>
Which was in turn based on a previous design discussed here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-September/075649.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-September/075649.html</a><br>
<br>
So, I think it's likely (unless anyone objects) we'll stick with that<br>
current owl theme for our official mascot.<br>
<br>
Overall I like the idea of encouraging official mascots/logos for projects,<br>
quite a few have done so informally and I think it's a fun way to reinforce<br>
project/team identity within the OpenStack community.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
