About the FreeDOS official logos: A lot of people ask about the FreeDOS fish, and why we chose a fish for the FreeDOS mascot. It just kind of "happened", rather than being planned in any way. I'd always wanted to have a lemur as our mascot, mainly because I think they're neat. No one liked that idea, so then I thought we could use a cute, pudgy seal. Everyone loves seals. But there was a DOS GUI project called S.E.A.L., with the obvious mascot, so no one wanted to step on them by "taking" their mascot.

RayeR created an image about FreeDOS and Linux. He said he needed a FreeDOS mascot, so he just put the FreeDOS logo on a blue ball-guy. So for a while, I thought we could make a mascot kind of like the smiling green guy from 'HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy'. But it didn't catch on.

Later, Mike Green submitted a FreeDOS logo in the shape of a fish. He stated the fish was a symbol of freedom. I posted it, but didn't think it would get a big following. But then I got other FreeDOS logos that included a fish. One was from Bas Snabilie. His fish mascot was kind of cute, with a big bug-eye, and looking kind of chubby. And everyone loved the fish mascot. You can even buy a t-shirt with the FreeDOS fish mascot on it.

Later, someone asked if that was supposed to be a whale (no gills) or a fish (no blowhole). Ah well, I guess nothing's really perfect. But he's really a fish. Because of his bug-eye, I called him Blinky. But we never had an official vote on the name of our fish mascot, it's just something I called him.
