I would vote myself for some kind of Swan (Cygwin, from Cygnus +
Windows, Cygnus = Swan (Latin)).  May be too obvious and not as subtle
as an otter (?).

Another (potentially less humourous) idea would be for someone to
photograph (or obtain a photograph) or some other depiction of the
Cygnus constellation or the Cygnus X-1 black hole.

Just my Cdn$0.02.
