The old logo is beautiful but the proposed on is also very
beautiful. And it doesn't hurt to have different logos. So
far we have two. This could be logo-3.6.

I posted a copy at:

My two cents: it seems to me that the field in the
Penguin should be white (snow, where the Penguine lives)
and the Penguin must have a white breast and black
head. This means that the background of the Gnu must be
black, and something like the lower left picture is
optimal. Maybe the contrast could be improved by some
tweaking.
