This is good, and simple and direct, an advantage for a logo.
Also, as my husband pointed out when we discussed this, Linux groups
usually have a logo that is some variation on Tux, e.g. VietLUG has
an unbearably cute logo of Tux in a "coolie" hat. ;)
So this logo follows that pattern.
There's a Tux gallery somewhere <rummages>, ah...

http://www.tux.org/
Tux features in Tuxpaint, and GCompris: not easy to translate his
name. I had to go with « Thâch-x », hard to say, but at least it
transliterates the name.
