+1 for a FireFly. Ok, I can't draw, but it's to make a point ;-)

the book mentioned a missed opportunity to make their cover a "robot

Agree with Aizhamal that it doesn't matter if they are
taken if they are not too close in space to Beam: Apache
projects, big data, log processing, stream processing.
Not a legal opinion, but an aesthetic opinion. So I
would keep Lemur as a possibility. Definitely nginx is
far away from Beam so it seems OK as long as the art is
different.
Also FWIW there are many kinds of Lemurs, and also
related Tarsier, of the only uncontroversial and
non-extinct infraorder within suborder Strepsirrhini. I
think there's enough room for another mascot with big
glowing eyes :-). The difference in the designer's art
will be more significant than the taxonomy.

Aww.. that Hoover beaver is cute. But then lemur is
also "taken" [1] and the owl too [2].
Personally, I don't think it matters much which
mascots are taken, as long as the project is not too
close in the same space as Beam. Also, it's good to
just get all ideas out. We should still consider
hedgehogs. I looked up fireflies, they don't look
nice, but i am not dismissing the idea :/
And thanks for reaching out to designers, Max. To
your point:

My thinking is that the designer will come up with
few sketches, then we vote on one here in the dev@ list.

Quick update: The mentioned designer has gotten
back to me and offered
to sketch something until the end of the week.
I've pointed him to this
thread and the existing logo material:
https://beam.apache.org/community/logos/
[I don't want to interrupt the discussion in any
way, I just think
having something concrete will help us to
eventually decide what we want.]
