I'm happy to announce that Apple has agreed to let llvm.org (and anyone else) use the great LLVM logo they designed for WWDC. If you're interested, you can see the full version of the logo on this page: http://llvm.org/Logo.html
I personally think that this is a pretty great logo/mascot for LLVM, because it is very abstract, can be adapted in a variety of ways, is alpha channeled correctly, and probably looks great on shirts/mouse pads. If nothing else, it seems a lot more compelling than a wildebeest jumping out of an egg
That said, I'm not a graphic artist. I simply down-sampled the image to get the "Small" one that I'd like to use on the sidebar. The image is complex enough that it will probably take someone who knows what they are doing to make it look good. Any help is definitely appreciated with this.
I think it would be best to use Mozilla's way for this. If we have any
skilled vector artists, they could try to recreate the image as a vector
graphic (it is not so complex as to prevent this) which would allow for
free scaling.
This image look like vector art. Isn't it possible to get a vectored version from Apple ?
Else it's possible to "vectorize" the png but if such a version already exists it would definitely be easier.

Looks cool!
I'm awful at this kind of stuff, but maybe someone could do a small
version of this with "LLVM Inside" or some such phrase on it, to be used
on websites of compilers using LLVM as their backend? LLVM is getting
much "brand recognition" in programmer circles these days, and the logo
should help to further promote that.

Okay, now with "LLVM Inside" (in a double sense)...
Actually even if you had an SVG source it would be best to
simplify the drawing before downscaling it, see [1] for example.
Of course having the SVG without an artist is already better than
having none of them :).

I'm not an artist, so the simplifying is not so easy for me, but its
true that that is the really hard part. So I did two full-scale sketches
with different texts.

Looks nice, even at 256 pixels. Just for the fun of it I sticked it on http://pure-lang.googlecode.com/ (scaled to 128 pixels, though, to make
it fit).

Well it does look not too good the text is getting to small in this
case, what do you think of this 128x128 version?

Did you mean to spell it as in the Welsh name? The usual spelling is Llewellyn or Llewelyn
Someone asked about pronunciation. The 'll' sound doesn't exist in English: it's an aspirated 'l'. Say an 'l' while hissing out of one side of your mouth, and you'll get a crude approximation of it.
Llewellyn: hlew - EHL - in Llewelyn: hlew - EL - in
However, I have heard English speakers just say the 'll' as an 'l' and not get the ew quite right, giving lou-ellen. That's probably the most common pronunciation of it in the US.
It looks like an sprite coming from a Megaman game :). My humble
opinion is that while the dragon looks nice when large, when
small it just feels childish and unprofessional.

And now, of course, HE NEEDS A NAME!!!
He?
I had the same thought. She's a "she", for sure.
Trying to match mnemonically while keeping a "sound" from typical fantasy literature:
