across a Web site that showed the gnome logo as a paw print.
Might be confusing for Puppy to also use a paw print?

imho, though there are some valid cons against the paw print, at this point it stills strikes the right balance of considerations.
1) it looks great and professional
2) has some history with puppy already
3) there is a possibility of color play with the logo eg grafpup
4) And on days when i feel like reading/looking deeper into the logo i can actually imagine a group of people gathering around in the paw print logo... reminds me of the puppy community
check out this desktop by rhino ...

I think that the puppy paw is perfect. I think we should try to avoid using the 'face' of a dog, I just don't think an OS with a cute dog's face on it is going to appeal to any serious users. The paw, on the other hand, it what I have on my taskbar - it's definately MY logo of choice. It's simple, professional, uncluttered, easily reproducable and instantly recognisable. And the other benefit of the Paw is that it looks great in any combination of colours. A green dog's face would just look, well, childish and odd.
That's just my opinion.

I really like the paw logo, as it has a kind of double message, like dasch pointed out. One the one hand its a puppy paw, & the other it is like a bunch of people together (representing the friendly community that PL has.) I really like this idea. On the other hand though, it isn't the most original of the logos in this topic, but I definitely think something professional, minimal yet striking would serve best.
My 2c is the logo should be ~ loosely based on (but would be my first pick regardless..)the original chiwawa pooch named puppy, with or without the flower.
I'd luuv to see some more submissions..
My daughter is quite the artsy fartsy type & I'm trying to get her to draw something up (have to talk to her right.. ) based on the original pix(s) & a few variants that have shown up already in this thread & the other one.

Very nice Warren
I prefer the Puppy to the paw (paw is used a lot and we are not Paw Linux)
There was a time when the Puppy logo had red-eyes (what was he on?)
then he got cute
then we had
for example here

How about the word "Puppy" where the "P" is the outline of a dog's head?John Doe wrote:hmmm...hadn't thought of that.Lobster wrote:I prefer the Puppy to the paw (paw is used a lot and we are not Paw Linux)
you're making me think about changing my opinion

The paw makes an excellent desktop (it is a backround image and does not distract). In other words it suggests a Puppy, without being direct.
Show people a paw and it will suggest "paw", "print", "cat", "dog" etc.
Show people a Puppy and they will think Puppy
A Puppy represents Puppy and is therefore a brand / logo etc that is part of our evolution.
It says Puppy. It is Puppy.
Put "puppy" into google - click on images - what do you get? I only saw one seagull . . . no pause for paws

Maybe this is what you had in mind?John Doe wrote:maybe a crisp drop shadow behind the paw to make it jump out a bit?
or perhaps the same blur type as behind the text?

I agree with Lobster's ideas. The logo has to be easily identifiable.
Just one other thing, could you please make the toned backdrop slightly lighter, so that the face or pawprint 'jumps out' a bit more. For those of us less young than we used to be, a bit of contrast works wonder for the old peepers.
