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.
