Nolan suggested but perhaps not seriously.

Should we come up with a logo that is square like the Tux alone for the upper left corner of the wiki/page? (maybe a color scheme that mimics ubuntu bland brownish set - to establish us clearly as a Ubuntu dominated and part of the Lo Co groups they have) Or a banner logo/header
 * I'm thinking of all the animals lined up for a colorful banner tux, BSD demon, suse lizard, the gnu ox, a tiger for the Mac people, a heron...
 * I DID suggest that seriously but It needs to be touched up by someone with more experience editing and a steadier hand. That's simply a base idea that serves the fact that we are known for our carousels....thus the pole in the middle which needs to be more predominant. Having a color scheme based solely on one distribution disorients the purpose of a LUG group. I myself am willing to try out a variety of distros and I run many at one time. Adopting a disto to a lug group you might as well change the name to STNYUUG (Ubuntu Users Group). I think the logo should be more oriented towards the ethnicity of the community, major landmarks of the area instead of what the group is offering, even in that case we are a FOSS group open to talk about anything, yes including windows. Making a logo highlighting the colors of a certain distro would not only possibly discourage users like myself that run other distros but show that we aren't open to trying new things  The animals thing may be a bit too crowded altho I liked that idea.

 * Ah good. A positive specific suggestion (btw, I like a LOT of your ideas, and certainly your contributions). My only small objection to the horse ... was ... the handwriting ... o.w. yes, let's touch it up and use it or just something abstract to move forward. Depending on time I'll work on a banner to put a professional polish on the wiki.

 * Yeah the little sign was just to serve as a proof of concept kinda thing but thats what I want it to look like when finishd, among the things make the pole look more realistic, put more detail on the horse to make it look more carousel-ish, and fix the sign... you could take your idea and put logos on the horse maybe but any other discussion should be moved to the image talk page.
