Just an observation.

     "The use of the camel image in association with the Perl language
     is a trademark of O'Reilly & Associates, Inc."

They will not be picking a logo for _us_. Whatever they put on the
cover of Matz's book, history suggests that we won't be able to freely
use that image on our own web sites.

So the community gets to pick a logo or mascot pretty much independent
of what a cover-designer at a publisher decides.
