Show context

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 think it would work quite well in an icon/emoji setting, where the context "operation system brand" was already established.

E.g. think of some "coose your OS" widget with entries:

  - (Apple with bite) MacOS
  - (Colored flag) Windows
  - (This icon) Linux

You want a dev to fill in that third set of bracket with "A penguin", and it didn't happen.
