Larry is a unique mascot in that he is a cow with a guys name. All I have to say to them is...
Moooooooooooo!

I really like Larry for what he is:
At the very least utterly (gender) confused and peaceful. It's a refreshing alternative to all the either offensely cute or aggressive looking mascots of other projects.
I 'm just not sure one would want a logo that rather looks like it needs serious help.
Larry i love you.

Don't like the cow. The purple metallic "G" is fine by me.
Also glad KDE saw fit to take that fruity dragon behind the barn and shoot it too. |

For me being a swiss guy, loving Gentoo and cheese Larry the cow really rocks hardly!!! In my point of view, the penguin is more likely a mascot for Linux in general, whereas Gentoo needs a mascot for his own. A cow stands for a rock-stable and calm character... Maybe it should be some sort of sports-cow, since using Gentoo gives you (as far as I know...) the fastest distribution out there, while it still resides rock-stable. So I think, a cow is a good choice! The transsexuality is an issue though, still I like cows more than bulls...
What about Claudia, the sports-cow?  |

Larry is OK!
The G logo looks like a chopped off fish head (from the right), or a laughing fish sticking it's head above the water or something (from the left). Still not clear to me...

I moo!
Definently 
I like the g too...
If larry should be doing any sport-like activity, it should be either dancing/break-dancing or martial arts.

I love Larry too. I've no problem with the fact that it's a cow with a guys name. I used to have problems with the purple colour of Gentoo and the funny shaped "g", but it seems as if I even got used to that.
And who says Linux must be penguin? what really distinguishes Gentoo from the others is Larry!! |

| I felt better about Larry the Cow making that list after I saw that Tux made the list (Lame? WTF? That's blasphemy!) as well as the Mozilla dinosaur. I think the article writers just weren't cool enough to appreciate art. However, I would have to agree that the creepy Adobe jester thing was terrible - though it was more frightening than lame. And of course the Sun blob further reinforces Sun's commitment to lameness. |

| What about the KDE dragon? How did they miss that? Larry and Tux are way cooler than Konqi |

You see a chopped-off fish head. I see a pre-menstrual Ms Pac-Man nagging after Pac-Man. Of course, that might explain why I'm divorced.
Walruses are mean. We should go with something really ridiculous like the Manatee! |

Do you think that HowTo could be adapted to my bonsai kitty? I've been trying to figure out what to do with it for years and it's getting pretty big now.
