[wellylug] WLUG Logo

The elements:

Philosophically I think we can do without the Sarchi&Sarchi (non open 
source) corporate Abs Pos logo (even though I put it on both of my 
suggestions ;-)

If you're going to have a Penguin, it *must* be TUX, Penguins per-say have 
nothing to do with Linux and their inclusion will just muddy the image.

I can't think of any nationally recognised symbol of Wellington other than 
the Parliament/Beehive ... (it's inclusion is unmistakable unless of course 
people assume we're the Parliamentary Linux users group) - of course that 
represents Wellington City, not the region - maybe a map segment of the 
Wellington region as background instead?

Best to spell out the full name so the logo works for people that don't 
know what a LUG is (apart from lug-hole ;-).

For an international audience incorporating the nz flag might be useful, 
but frankly everyone will assume it's the Aussy flag, a kiwi or silver fern 
would be more widely recognised.
