I feel as strongly as Myriam does, that cute is not applicable to more
serious applications, so I wonder whether we are taking the wrong road
here.

Is it not possible to create a "family" of konqi mascots?  The new one
could be Young Konqi.  We could have a Konqi specifically designed for
use in more business situations.  What about gaming Konqi, or sporting
Konqi?

It should be perfectly possible for all the images to be recognisable
as the same creature in different circumstances.
