Apologies for adding to this discussion so late. When the idea of a mascot was first raised, I recalled how in describing (and spelling) R to people in seminars, etc I would sometimes say, in my best pirate voice, "That's R, as in ARRRRRR!".
The connection to something or someone criminal is perhaps not desirable, but I'm sure that there is someone in the R community who could be a model for the logo (long beard certainly, eye-patch or wooden leg even better). And then clicking on the logo would play the accompanying sound. I think this has plenty of appeal. ;-) Regards, Andrew C.
