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 agree. Its cute but i think it lacks essential details. The monochrome versions don't look penguin enough.

Yeah, the colored version is pretty good but the monochrome needs something to make the beak a beak.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
