While I do not suffer from Podophobia, I do find the Gnome logo a bit odd. Why use a foot for the logo of a desktop environment? It just seems a bit silly to me.

Apparently GNOME picked a logo they liked without any relevance, I always thought it was an Ogre foot and a joke for a project called Gnome, I play too many rpgs .

#GNOME Usability Study Report :: Exploring the GNOME Desktop
July 2001
Because they had never seen GNOME before and were unfamiliar with the GNOME logo, several participants did not know what the foot icon was.
Guesses included:
"The footprint of the computer?...for traveling or search and replace? Its local, not global. I don't know why its there." (P4)
"Where I've been before? A history?" (P2)
"A "footprint" of where I've been or a list of tasks I've performed most recently." (P8) "I don't know. I have no idea what the foot means." (P6, P9, P10)
