Again, what others have already said: it is not the Debian swirl. It is
very likely that whoever created this swirl has not even heard about
Debian.
The Debian swirl was created with a few - apparently very obvious - steps in
a popular graphics package (which one?), starting with a default brush
stroke. So anybody owning this particular graphics package can easily
create a similar logo. Both brush strokes and swirls are not that
uncommon...
This was discussed in the past already.
Time for a more unique logo? OTOH I quite like the swirl. And then there
are the tattooed people who probably would like the logo to stay the same
for another few years...
