That bug is beautiful! It should be the Debian logo. (that "swirl" is
sooo ugly)
Think about it: a bug as logo! it conveys that:
- debian tamed the bugs,
- is not afraid a showing a real bug,
- never hides a bug
- likes bugs for their artistic sake,
That bug picture is a "aha" moment. It makes total sense to have it as
Debian logo.
