This looks like the original logo posted by James Callinson. I did a
smaller hand-crafted version. If this logo is to be used, I would push
for using my version (keeping attribution for the original artist --
my part was mostly technical).
This is not just so that I can blow my own trumpet (or nose), but for
the following reasons:
o people have reported problem with using the 'setcolor' operator -- I use
'setrgbcolor'.
o the bounding box above is rubbish -- this makes inclusion in documents
difficult.
o it is too large -- it is almost 53k -- mine is less than 1k (just :-).
o my version should be easily updatable to different releases, even by a
novice.
My own personal feeling is that I quite like this logo, I think it would
look snazzy on a CD. However, I feel the final choice must lie with
Linus -- it is his OS.
Anyway, here is my version, which has been available on tsx-11 for since
0.97. This is marginally updated -- it is for "Linux 1.0" :-)
