These are only meant to help for cases where the full tux is too detailed to display, see examples in the linked README. But the shape also works well for single fill cases, like in the keychain example. I wouldn’t want these to be used when the full tux could be displayed in all its glory instead.

One issue I have is I do not know how to license these properly, I wouldn’t want them to show up in a trademarked logo or anything, but I would still want them to be freely usable as tux icons anywhere. What do you think?

I have chosen the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, thank you for helping me!

    I think these either need the beak to be a bit irregularly shaped or needs a black line inside the beak to make it more clear this isn’t just a big hole in the face but an actual bird beak.

    But other than that its great! And that’s of course just my personal opinion, you do you!

    Very nice icon, would you consider contributing it to font-logos project (where a lot of FOSS projects logos are, including Tux) that is used on nerd-fonts so people can use it on their terminals? Nice to see SolveSpace being used for it. Edit: Fix typo.

            aw I missed the release. maybe we can get it in for the fall release. ( personally I would prefer to get it in under the right license, than in a new one or in a grey-area). thanks for reaching out back then, it would be crazy to me if people had access to this icon in neovim etc.

              I’m still figuring out some things and also have been busy, eventually should be done.

    This logo feels unbalanced, I don’t have enough experience to say what is wrong, but it feels wrong.

    Thanks for sharing. Maybe I will fork it and make it better.
