List of computing mascots
open-in-new
<p>This is a list of computing mascots. A <a href="/facts/Mascot/ATAbjP6C">mascot</a> is any person, animal, or object thought to bring luck, or anything used to represent a group with a common public identity. In case of computing mascots, they either represent software, hardware, or any project or collective entity behind them. </p><p>Within collaborative software projects, the use of mascots often allow for the existence of a <a href="/facts/Trademarked/B23H8IS0">non-trademarked</a> symbol for use by the software's community, as opposed to <a href="/facts/Logo/nUlH9REj">Logos</a> and <a href="/facts/Wordmarks/2cGbuVyT">Wordmarks</a>, which often have more stringent protections. </p> <table><tbody><tr><th>Mascot</th><th>Representing</th><th>Description</th><th>Image</th><th>Ref(s)</th></tr><tr><td><a href="/facts/Adiumy/yhUEHUcT">Adiumy</a></td><td><a href="/facts/Adium/yhUEHUcT">Adium</a>, a free and open-source instant messaging client for macOS.</td><td>A cartoon <a href="/facts/Duck/lNhVvTRH">duck</a></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Amanda the Panda</td><td><a href="/facts/Window_Maker/GffqdC1y">Window Maker</a>, a free and open-source window manager for the X Window System.</td><td>A cartoon <a href="/facts/Giant_panda/BMbbMGg7">panda</a></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Apache Beam Firefly</td><td><a href="/facts/Apache_Beam/6ltJTUU8">Apache Beam</a></td><td>A cartoon <a href="/facts/Firefly/AsDYDz2C">firefly</a></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Beanbird</td><td>LG’s <a href="/facts/WebOS/lf3sPSeG">webOS</a> operating system</td><td>A brown bean shaped <a href="/facts/Bird/RJF6zwLP">bird</a></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/facts/Blinky_(mascot)/61fuGd0j">Blinky</a></td><td><a href="/facts/FreeDOS/61fuGd0j">FreeDOS</a>, a free and open-source DOS implementation for IBM PC compatible computers.</td><td>A cartoon <a href="/facts/Fish/fln4gH9V">fish</a></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Beastie, the <a href="/facts/BSD_Daemon/IlGjYfC4">BSD Daemon</a></td><td><a href="/facts/BSD/XQKcURrh">BSD</a>, a free and open-source Unix operating system derivative that also has many derivations out of itself.</td><td>A cartoon <a href="/facts/Demon/eAz75uzo">demon</a></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/facts/Android_(operating_system)/nNyHb0xz">The Bot</a>/Bugdroid</td><td><a href="/facts/Android_operating_system/nNyHb0xz">Android operating system</a></td><td>A green cartoon <a href="/facts/Android_(robot)/JcEneeP9">android</a> robot</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/facts/SerenityOS/t6BQ9pJc">Buggie</a></td><td><a href="/facts/SerenityOS/t6BQ9pJc">SerenityOS</a>, a free and open-source desktop operating system</td><td>A cartoon anthropomorphic <a href="/facts/Coccinellidae/G178JasK">ladybug</a></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Buggie</td><td><a href="/facts/Bugzilla/Inos49JP">Bugzilla</a>, a free and open-source web-based general-purpose bugtracker and testing tool</td><td>A cartoon anthropomorphic bug</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/facts/Raku_(programming_language)/9eYW7vRJ">Camelia</a></td><td><a href="/facts/Raku_(programming_language)/9eYW7vRJ">Raku</a></td><td>A cartoon bug with butterfly-like wings</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Canteloupe</td><td><a href="/facts/Libreboot/NGL7z76X">Libreboot</a></td><td>The silhouette of an <a href="/facts/Antelope/Qwt40F7N">antelope</a>, leaping</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>CowDuck</td><td><a href="/facts/TerminusDB/wrdH23bD">TerminusDB</a></td><td>A cartoon <a href="/facts/Hybrid_(biology)/pzVJ54xU">hybrid</a> with the head of a cow and the body of a duck</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/facts/Dart_(programming_language)/xJ8tE6Tl">Dash</a></td><td><a href="/facts/Dart_(programming_language)/xJ8tE6Tl">Dart</a> language and the <a href="/facts/Flutter_(software)/aI365dAp">Flutter</a> framework.</td><td>A <a href="/facts/Hummingbird/LfcJhMzm">hummingbird</a>.
