I feel bad to be this critical but it fails in direct, context free recognizability. It fails to evoke "penguin". I wouldn't have recognized it as a penguin without context, and I doubt others would without priming.
I was always partial to the Linux logo with the red triangle (from 1994): https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/logos/raytraced/linux-povl... >. (More old Linux logos here: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/logos/!INDEX.html >)
This is my favorite from it. :-D https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/logos/weblogos/itworks.gif
The small eyes version is freaky for such a logo. With Big eyes it looks friendlier, but still not cute... For something neutral and scalable, having a side perspective could perhaps work better ? Like this one for instance, with very few lines yet looks good. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMINEP...
I am sorry to say this, but this one looks soulless to me.
It looks a bit better with Tux's face: https://pmarks.net/posted_links/tux-weeble.png
This is great. I made a download button a while ago. The Apple and Windows logos scale down, look great, and are easily identifiable. Tux is great, but just doesn't scale down. Tried about 10 variants to get one that is recognizable, but also works at smaller sizes. Many attempts at this from many people: https://www.svgrepo.com/vectors/linux/

Can we bring this https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Crystal128-penguin.s... version back instead? I hear Apple has decreed that glossy/glassy design is cool again.
There were times when Crystal was even "ported" as Windows visual theme and later as package that swapped resource files: https://archive.org/details/crystal-xp-3.0

Wow what a flashback! I think I used to use this back in the day.
There were also attempts at customizing XP booting screen to achieve the perfect "it's not Windows" effect but that could easily render installation unbootable

I failed the 'vercel security check point' with my browser. It sucks if you only can browse the web with chrome based browsers..
