Hi. I downloaded the penguin image from Linus's ftp site, and thought that it would have been a nice symbol if it had not been that complicated. So I thought to make a very simplified version. This morning I implemented a catmull-rom spline, this afternoon I manually digitized the control points for the penguin, and wrote a small program to turn the spline results to postscript.
I am including here a first result. It is a poor-quality jpeg, but the idea can be seen...
If you want to give a look at the software, I put a (completely undocumented) tar-gzipped file on our slow ftp server:
ftp://ftp.marktest.pt/pub/peng.tar.gz
There is the postscript version (ct_ps) and an experimental svga version (ct) (that actually was born before...). You run the postscript version as:
ct_ps peng <postscript-output-file>
With small refinements, I believe that this logo could work as a symbol of our operating system. Anyway, I spent a pleasant day!
Ciao Carlo
