Since "backronyms" are a thing, I think they should adopt the camel as the logo, given that's what I see in my head when I think of perl: https://learning.oreilly.com/library/cover/0596000278/250w/

Agree completely. Larry Wall is pretty brilliant, but he shouldn't be doing graphics design.
Actually, I tend to dislike cutsey-poo cartoon icons, in general. If you want to pick an animal totem, there are plenty of public domain photos of actual animals courtesy of the NSF and such...

That butterfly was the worst. Perl would have been better served having an animal like the honeybadger as its logo.
