Ubuntu:Ringa Ringa Roses..................

Ubuntu Logo

On seeing the logo of Ubuntu , it doesn't seem to be much special.But on close inspection we could find that the logo is having three people holding hands in circle.This situation reminded me the nursery rhyme 'Ringa Ringa Roses'. Ubuntu means "an ethic or humanist philosophy focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other". And the logo is a graphical representation of 3 people holding their arms out, making a circle.

Linux : The Tux

The official Mascot of Linux ,the penguin popularly known as TUX ,was created as an entry to a Linux logo competition. The concept of using Penguin was the idea of The Linux creator Linus Torvalds.
Linus Torvalds is firstly inspired by a photograph of an FTP websites ,showing a Penguin Figurine looking strangely.

It is however designed by Larry Ewing and then modified by Torvalds.
The name Tux was given by James Hughes, who said that it stood for "(T)orvalds (U)ni(X)".
