These ended up in my mailbox ....

Exactly what Opera needs for version 9: a simple yet powerful message. I also like the idea of a sort of mascot (maybe not) that gives Opera a friendlier feeling.

'be kevu...
best so far...

i like it :)

Not bad. Maybe a good idea to throw in some arms and legs =)

Better still if it can be based on something real like TUX.

What does Tux have to do with Opera, Tux is already associated with Linux...?

I like this one a lot. I don't like that it says "Breath Taking" though. Breathtaking is one word, not two, so that sort of annoys me. If that were fixed I'd probably use this one for my office desktop.

lol, great

I like this one

Kimmoj: I think elgoh meant to base it on real creature as Tux is based on penguin.

Great one! Really
