Here are better ones:

It's funny that you didn't mention Perl, or PHP.

Perl's is not precisely a great logo either. But everybody associates
the camel (and not a pearl) with Perl (after "the Camel" book), so it
works great for Perl, and therefore it's a great logo (oops, reductio
ad absurdum? :)

PHP's, well, it's simple and does the job. I wonder how it got chosen.
It reminds me the first logo in the URL above.
