āHaikuā and āHaiku OSā are synonyms.
We even can vote for that, but result can not change the facts, you can not vote or command for that ā it is a fact or not. This just are.
ā why you does not accept this?
Interesting, project called āHaikuā, but its product can be called āHaiku OSā.

Certainly there is a name, but as to an āidentifiableā logo, Iām unaware of such a thing.
Haiku, as an OS would benefit from having some well designed, eye catching LOGO that well incapsulates the character & merits of the system. If weāre talking about the āfalling leavesā idea, not sure how striking that is & or how workable.
Consider the BEOS eye & ear āMedia OSā icon I have as my avatar as an example of something immediately identifiable.
Yes it is the bee for sureā¦
busy and endurable working to get work doneā¦ one by oneā¦
I have no desire to have an eternal back and forth, so I stick out of this discussion. In Germany one says: You are right and I have my peace.
Are you sure that bee was the mascot of beos?
I have been around for so long and can not remember it. Be had a distinctive logo. It was short, the B in blue and the e in red. Zeta had then later a mosquito, but a bee?
Can of course also be wrong in this regard.
Maybe he was thinking of this 
though I donāt really see a ābeeā thereā¦

If I am not wrong remembering it was a mosquito at that time but has the look of a bee for sure!
Both make senseā¦
Thatās the Bee/Moskito at the end! Do you get me?
In light of this discussion, I believe the Bike Shed should be the Haiku Mascot. /sarcasm.
I am uncertain if the story about how Be Inc. picked āBeā as corporation name was ever told/written.
One can speculate that, since be comes after apple in most childrenās aids to learn the English alphabet, this may have been so that one could envision Be becoming the Next Apple!
The symbol in the red square looks as much as en ear/eye mash-up as a swarm of bees - again conveying ambiguity as to its true meaning. The ear/eye mash-up likely points out to the emphasis on the multimedia capabilities in promotional material.
I think that Haiku, while inspired by BeOS, should not be burdened by such an ambiguous legacy.

According to the Wikipedia article:
According to several sources including Macworld UK, the company name āBeā had its origin in a conversation between GassĆ©e and Be co-founder Steve Sakoman. GassĆ©e originally thought the company should be called āUnited Technoids Inc.ā, but Sakoman disagreed and said he would start looking through the dictionary for a better name. A few days later, when GassĆ©e asked if he had made any progress, Sakoman replied that he had got tired and stopped at āB.ā GassĆ©e said, āBe is nice. End of story.ā

I donāt see how no one else has upvoted it, because shark cow is definitely the best suggestion by far. May I suggest, Walter the shark cow?

As an outsider who has spent all of 5 t0 6 hours with Haiku, I would like to throw my opinion into the ring. I have read quite a bit about the history of computing and I think it is very important to have, not a mascot per se, but a logo. The big three (Windows, Mac OS, and Linux) all have logos that people can use to distinguish them at a glance. If you are from China and donāt know a word of English, you could still walk into a Tesco and tell at a glance if the computer mouse they are selling can run on Windows, Mac OS, or Linux based on the logos. This can also be called brand recognition. Below are two examples to illustrate my point. In short, Haiku needs a logo that can be easily recognized at a glance regardless of language spoken. Thank you for your time
P.S. Is there a place to upload backgrounds (not logos or mascots). Iām not very good, but Iām willing to take a crack at it.
