But in my understanding, *any* symbol you use, in some part of the world it will have a negative connotation.+1. In greek calling one a parrot means he repeats things he hears without knowing what they mean (like students copying book paragraphs in exams). I'm afraid we'll probably have to make a compromise at some point. :)
Hehe, this is part of the reason why I started drawing aliens. Of course now that I think about it, aliens can have some pretty bad connotations too (abducting people, wreaking havoc for farmers with crop circles, etc.) ;)
FWIW I am very impressed with the progress on the mascots, it looks like we have some very nice options.
