Well, that was certainly the original reasoning. I remember being told that if
you went to Japan and showed them the elephant logo, you might get zero
recognition. Ie. in Japan, the turtle is postgres is the turtle, and the
elephant logo is odd. Perhaps that has changed now? Maybe JPUG has adopted
the turtle as it's own, and the elephant is also recognized... dunno, perhaps
we can get someone from JPUG to wiegh in?

Sometime you have to shake things up to make progress. As long as you're
willing to put in the effort to improve things, I don't think anyone will
give it a second thought.
