I sent a quick message to Mark Shuttleworth, here's what he said:

So start thinking about ducks. Chic, suave, studly ducks decked out in their 
finest threads. I have to admit I like a dapper duck much better than a 
breezy badger (breezy is a synonym of flatulent where I'm from).

Actually, I'm really excited about this release, and not because of art. I 
manage servers and software and the reason I switched to Ubuntu is because 
it had a longer support cycle than RH/Fedora. I'll probably be using Drake 
for the next 4-5 years.
