Whilst "the cat" remains the current moniker for TW several issues arose relevant to future design ... 1 - Should the image *in some way be more tightly connect to the intent?* Personally I thought John Newell's posts, starting at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/el52HKBX0Uc/R0S_-gQKAgAJ, were in that ballpark. John works commercially with promoting TW. He points to some kind of logo that illustrates that TW could be centred on a central function of combining "bits into wholes." 2 - *Should the image be an animal?* Why? I love cats so I do like the IMAGE. But, longer term, is it a fit? I mean does a young cat visually express characteristics of TW? If its an animal I get a sense more of the Chameleon than either fish or cat. 3 - Adam Sherpard's fish <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/el52HKBX0Uc/W8dmC4HWBwAJ> is an excellent proto-design (albeit I was the one saying "fish are too long") showing what a good designer can do. The conceptual problem IMO is that "fish is TW come in shoals", not singular. Tiddlers I don't think make sense alone (here I'm reverting to point 1.) Good visual design takes time. Its not the image per se that is usually most of the work. Its clarifying *what one needs to represent*.
