The FreeDOS fish mascot is named Blinky. The short story behind this is Jim wanted to have a mascot for FreeDOS, and really wanted a seal. He thought a seal would go well with the Linux penguin mascot. But there was already another FreeDOS program called SEAL with the obvious mascot. Instead, we chose a fish. Bas Snabilie designed our FreeDOS fish mascot. We later dubbed him "Blinky" because of his googly eye.

FreeDOS Logo

When using the FreeDOS logo in print media, do not use grey shading. The FreeDOS fish is either blue or white, never grey. If you cannot print in color, please use a black and white image.

Our first website logo was created by our then-webmaster and then-coordinator, M. "Hannibal" Toal. We have updated the logo only a few times in our history. Our current website is based on the FreeDOS fish mascot designed by Bas Snabilie.
