Eigen Mascot!
A while ago I asked for proposals for Eigen's mascot owl. We got excellent proposals from 5 artists and exchanged many e-mails on Eigen's mailing list. Finally I uploaded the best pics from each artist and we voted. The vote occurred on the mailing list in order to ensure that mostly people with a true interest in Eigen, and who followed the discussions, participate. Other than that it was open to anyone. 9 people voted.
Note that the drawings below are 'only' sketches (!)
drumroll...dzing! The winner, and personally my favorite, is the "Silly Professor" in the top-right of this pic (Copyright 2008 David Benjamin, licensed under CC-BY-SA):
We'll be sure make use of the 'todo' and 'bugs' owl sketches. The 'engineer' is also very nice for a documentation section on internals.
The very close second (only 1 voice behind out of 9) is this one (Copyright 2008 Ronnie Tucker):
Again, you can see here the other candidates.
