Not picking on you in particular, but I think there's a tendency to
go way too abstract in most of these proposals.  I want something
with gut appeal on the order of Tux.



Hence, Camelia.


I'm quite happy with Camelia being the basis for the logo for the Perl 6 
language itself.

Please don't.  I think the happy version is much better than any angry or
