We have a new logo for GLAD, our Greater Los Angeles Drupal group!
Update: voting for the name has begun at https://drupal.la/node/34
A couple names have been floating around already and I thought it would be fun to have a naming contest. Once we have a list of name suggestions, we can run a poll and use voting to declare a winner.
This logo is a big step forward for GLAD. We'll be using it for all the print materials for GLADCamp, our upcoming Greater Los Angeles Drupal Camp, as well as on sign-in sheets at our meetups, and everywhere GLAD has an online presence, including Twitter, Google+ and Facebook.
I hope you all enjoy, and let the naming contest begin!

Mig-foo suggest that having 'man' be part of the name isn't a great idea.

The original name from our
The original name from our designer is "Smiley", which is the same name used for the "have a nice day" imagery:

The name and image have been trademarked all over the world, but not here in the US:

Gladys is fine but it makes me think of a woman's name "Gladice", maybe just a little change to Glady or Gladie?

Yes. Nothing against the name, but I'd suggest we keep the personal component out of it.

fejn, from your comment I removed "Gladys" from the list. I don't know if including the name in the poll would be a problem, but I don't think it's worth the risk.
Suggested names so far
Okay, the names that folks have suggested so far are:
Are there any more suggestions?
How will we vote?
I propose that when we get to the voting part that we allow everyone to vote for as many names as they'd like (so if you like three of the names, for example, you can vote for all three). That means we wouldn't be able to use the poll module here on Drupal Groups. :(

Drupal.LA is live now, by the way, and is the best place I can think of for having multiple choice polls.

Just a quick reminder to everyone that voting has begun! See https://drupal.la/node/34 where we've had 7 votes so far.
Meanwhile, we have an alternate version of the mascot without the sunglasses / infinity eyes. I'll see where that is and put that in the original post, too.
