It's a logo. Look at other people using penguins as logos: what does it
have to do with books, or with debuggers?
For that matter, why choose a read hat or a bitten apple not only as logo,

It has something to do with the system? This not only isn't obvious, it is
actually hard to believe. Care to explain?
As to professional, the Linux penguin looks at least as professional to
me.
