Some other ideas:

derivative: a sword (derivative of the Dragon book cover -- Postgres as a tool)
illustrative: a bowl of Alphabet Soup, with letters spelling out POSTGRESQL
obscure: a revolver/hit man (Grosse Pt is an anagram of Postgres, and an
abbreviation of the title of the new John Cusack movie)

but if you want an animal-based logo, how about some sort of elephant?
After all, as the Agatha Christie title read, elephants can remember ...

Hi,

I'm Looking for information on our elephant: especially how/why we

According to:

The discussion was back to 1997 on the hackers list. Unfortunately the
official archive for 1997 was lost. Mine seems to be gone too. Any
information will be appreciated.
