or why does it have to be an animal, like LJ had the goat frank

really need another animal?
The firsttwo images that came to my mind were a cloud (okay,
cliche and boring, skip that) and a drawing of a 'dreamcatcher'
(the kind you hang in a window).
Somehow tying that to a telecommunications cable might work ...
There's a difference, though, between the logo and the mascot. For
the logo, yes, something like the lettered cloud or a dreamcatcher (I
like that one) would be better. But a mascot needs to be... lively.
Personable. Animals are generally good for that, unless someone
wants to anthropomorphize a cloud or similar.
And, while the logo needs to tie in clearly to the name and/or
purpose of the site, the mascot doesn't.
Of course, having said that, I have to admit that the metamorphic
aspect of using a butterfly as the mascot appeals to me. That may be
too a) arcane or b) fluffy for broad appeal, though.
