Try to Name the SuSE Mascot

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the this-oughta-be-fun dept.

Maschendrahtzaun writes "After the green chameleon has been the mascot of the SuSE Linux AG for such a long time, we finally want to give it a name. We are therefore announcing a name competition for our chameleon.

The competition will begin in New York at the Linux World, which was staged Feb. 1, 2000 through Feb. 4; the final decision will be revealed at the CeBIT 2000, at the end of of February 2000 in Hanover. From all suggestions which we receive SuSE will select the most funny or best fitting ones, which will be presented to the public on our Web site. From these suggestions the public will then be able to choose the winning name. One of the suppliers of the name which gets the most votes will be invited by SuSE to the largest European Linux event, the "LinuxTag in Stuttgart". SuSE will also draw further winners from the hat, who'll receive a current version of SuSE Linux as well as the newly-named cuddly green chameleon. " Ya know, 'Rob' has a nice ring to it...

      Yeah, pretty much my thoughts. I see the picture of the green chamaeleon with the caption "SuSE", and I tend to think of the chamaeleon as having a name like that: "Suse" or "Susie".

      Such a name would be much less confusing for the neophyte than less obvious names like "Kevin", "Engelbert" or "J. Rothwort Fontwoodleton III, Esq."

      Actually again - there aren't any penguins at the South Pole. The only two species of penguin that breed exclusively on the Antarctic continent are the Emperor Penguin, aptenodytes forsteri, and the Adelie, pygoscelis adeliae. Neither of these range much further south than the coastal pack-ice.

    • Those who've played Fallout 2 will immediately have flashbacks to ghouls and repairing nuclear reactors. Anything that induces Fallout 2 flashbacks is cool, even if it's a bit frightening at first. Those who've played the original fallout will probably, as a side effect, recall iguana-on-a-stick, with even better flashbacks as a result.
    • "Suzy" is too hard to make a trademark out of. But can't you all just see it now? "Gecko(TM) is a registered mark of SuSE Linux(TM). Linux(TM) is, in turn, a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds(TM). Torvalds(TM) is, in turn, a trademark of...."
    • And perhaps most frighteningly, if people use "suzy", they'll implicitly think of a female mascot. "Tux" is implicitly male. Soon, despite the will of many a valiant linux user, there will be an unnatural union - think gatekeeper and keymaster - which we must stop at all costs. Plus we don't want to get PETA angry at us.

I personally think that Tux didn't need a name.. that you shouldn't have to stick a monosyllabic verbal handle on everything in order for it to be powerful.. that in some sense you dilute the symbol and limit it by giving it a name. All of a sudden it isn't this ethereal, otherworldly, metaphorical iguana, standing for something or other; suddenly it's an iguana, one specific iguana, with a name and everything.

    One of the most appealing thing about the old logo was that the cham's tail helix was indicated by a spiral of dots, in the manner of Aubrey Beardsley. Don't ask me why, but it always looked intreguingly cool and even a little mysterious: it always made me want to delve into the product a bit more. The new logo just doesn't pack the same punch.
