>"... I wanted to use the GNU logo side by side with Tux mascot ..."

Debian uses a logo on the default page when Apache is installed that I find attractive. It's a lifelike GNU and penguin looking at each other, in silhouette.

You're right, that's a nice design :)
Yes, that's a nice logo, though still not exactly like the colorful cute Tux, but nice. :)

Well since writing that post I've made a little something that anyone can use as a representation of GNU that looks cuter. I release it and its SVG source to public domain so anyone can modify it and make use of it anywhere they want:

http://nuxified.org/images/lilgnu.png - PNG http://nuxified.org/images/lilgnu.svg - SVG source

It has been modeled after the gnu on this image: http://www.gnu.org/graphics/3dbabygnutux.med.png

It could probably use some improvements, and I'll probably make them for inclusion in the new header for nuxified.org I mentioned. If you want to change something, well.. you've got the SVG. ;)

Cheers Daniel
